[xmonad] Several issues

[Anze Slosar]

Hi,

I've been an avid user of xmonad for a couple of weeks now and I love it. 
I used to play with ion and ratpoison ages ago and I found them too clunky 
and unnifinshed, while I am regularly using xmonad on both my laptop and 
work machine now and it works like magic! Well done guys (if only you 
choose a more bearable language to code it in... ;) ) Anyway, my problems 
are:

a) gnuplot - after I plot something, the new window is shown and it shows 
the graph, but the cpu usage goes to 100% (shared between Xorg and 
xmonad). I then float it (by alt-mousing it away) and then putting it back 
(mod t) and then it works. Any idea what is going on?

b) What is the status of edges in mplayer? Any news on that front?

c) More importantly, what is the status of fullscreen in open office 
impress? I can sort of get it to work by floating it and then reszing it 
and then moving it around... But it is not ideal to do this just before 
you want to have a presentation in front of a large audience...

I don't know the detail of wm inner workings, but I think that there 
should be a hook to give certain windows complete freedom on where they 
want to be...

Best,

a
