Are you running with commit d4c450a2fdeb06ef61e0b3ae4e4154fb9435304c? It sounds like this issue might be fixed with that commit. Otherwise, do you have any idea what qtile is doing during that time? > Not excactly an elegant way to test things :) One thing you can do is use a different config (with different modifier keys) inside xephyr. That way your hotkeys don't overlap. Otherwise, you can start it in a different X session: http://qtile.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/hacking.html#second-x-session Tycho > Do you have a suggestion on how to run such mini-test? > And how can you pass commands/keystrokes to the xephyr window? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "qtile-dev" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qtile-dev" group.
