I tried to use the tiling window manager xmonad and found it excellent for terminal stuff. The problem was everything else.
Firefox/thunderbird/etc. don't work in a tiling window manager, particularly Firefox and particularly popups.
- dpetrov 15y agoA sensible tiling window manager doesn't tile popup windows (and I believe xmonad is sensible). If it doesn't float popups, then you just haven't configured it to do so. Can't blame you, though. Writing Haskell to configure a window manager isn't exactly a one-step process. I think parts of the following resource will prove useful if you ever decide to give xmonad another try: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_config_tips#Making_window_float_by_default.2C_or_send_it_to_specific_workspace http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_...
