This is hopefully harmless with well-behaved clients and ordinary xmonad configs, and it enables using re-floating to apply size hints to existing windows. The only visible behaviour change I can foresee is that tiled windows (which ignore hints by default, unless X.L.LayoutHints is used) will now snap to size hints whenever they're floated (either via a keybinding or on mouseMoveWindow), whereas previously they'd only do so on mouseResizeWindow. My use-case for this is the following: when I change fonts in my terminal, it updates its size hints and then sends a ConfigureRequestEvent to change its size to keep the number of rows and columns the same, and it also happens to reset the position to 0, 0. If it's tiled, that request is just ignored and hintsEventHook handles the layout refresh. If it happens to be floating, I want neither the move to 0, 0 nor the window size change to keep rows/colums, so I have a handleEventHook that ignores that ConfigureRequestEvent and just refloats the window, but I need a way to reapply size hints. I could add a separate function that applies these hints to the floating RationalRect, but that seems like a lossy operation due to the Doubles in there. So I'd probably end up replicating most of the code from floatLocation, and then I might just improve that instead… :-) (I'll submit that custom ConfigureRequestEvent-ignoring hook to xmonad-contrib later.)
xmonad
A tiling window manager for X11.
XMonad is a tiling window manager for X11. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is optional. xmonad is written, configured and extensible in Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings and other extensions may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several physical screens.
This repository contains the xmonad package, a minimal, stable, yet extensible core. It is accompanied by xmonad-contrib, a library of hundreds of additional community-maintained tiling algorithms and extension modules. The two combined make for a powerful X11 window-manager with endless customization possibilities. They are, quite literally, libraries for creating your own window manager.
