I used to use xmonad, but ditched it because it wasn't working well with Android Studio. I read somewhere that other tiling window managers have problems to display Android Studio under some video drivers.
Now I'm back to the default window manager of xfce4, which is ok since I tend to use only emacs and a browser, so I have have one workspace for each.

- foobarqux 12y agoThere is a problem with tiling window managers and Java GUIs. The fix is to export an environment variable whose name you can find on the XMonad faq.
- S4M 12y agoThanks for the tip! I gonna give xMonad another chance!
- chriswarbo 12y agoThere's a program called "wmname" specifically designed for this: http://tools.suckless.org/wmname http://tools.suckless.org/wmname Just run "wmname LG3D" then restart any open Java programs. LG3D is "Looking Glass 3D", a Java window manager http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Looking_Glass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Looking_Glass . It's quite amusing that Java's UI toolkit contains special-cases to avoid breaking their demos.
