This change makes the window under the mouse pointer the focused window. This isn't quite what we want, but it is a step in the right direction. The next step is to somehow inhibit the CrossingEvents generated during workspace and layout switches.
xmonad : a lightweight X11 window manager.
Motivation:
dwm is great, but we can do better, building a more robust,
more correct window manager in fewer lines of code, using strong
static typing. Enter Haskell.
If the aim of dwm is to fit in under 2000 lines of C, the aim of
xmonad is to fit in under 400 lines of Haskell with similar functionality.
Building:
Get the dependencies
X11 http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/X11-1.2
mtl http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/mtl-1.0
unix http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/unix-2.0 (included with ghc)
X11-extras: darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/~sjanssen/X11-extras
dmenu 2.{5,6,7} http://www.suckless.org/download/dmenu-2.7.tar.gz
And then build with Cabal:
runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --prefix=/home/dons
runhaskell Setup.lhs build
runhaskell Setup.lhs install
Then add:
exec /home/dons/bin/xmonad
to the last line of your .xsession file
