Yeah, I agree it would be useful. I'm not sure struts is the right way, though (in fact I don't think you need any X stuff at all, really, just the WM to have a global special case). > Another point that I thought just now is that I might be approaching > it in the wrong way, yakuake actually works fine when floating, the > only problem is if I open it in a group then switch to another group > then if I press the yakuake key to open/retract it won't work I have > to go to the group where I opened it, retract it, go back to the other > group and open it again.

Is it maybe a bug in yakuake? or > simply groups in qtile are completely different to workspaces in kde? Yes, the latter. Basically, windows shouldn't move groups without you telling them, but you're more than welcome to tell them to move programmatically with you as you switch groups. The easiest way to hack it without changes to upstream is to use the hook as I described earlier in the thread. That said, I would be happy to merge a patch that implemented the above special case. \t -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qtile-dev" group.
