Please test this! Plug in screens, unplug them, use your video projector,
change resolutions, etc.
To use the assignments, use the following syntax:
workspace <number> [screen <screen>] [name]
Where screen can be one of:
<number> (It is not provided that these numbers stay constant, so use with care)
<x>x<y> (Coordinates where the screen starts, so 1280 will be fine to match the
screen right of the main screen if your main screen is 1280 pixels
width. However, 1281 will not match)
<x>
x<y>
Some examples follow:
workspace 1 screen 0
workspace 1 screen 1
workspace 1 screen 1280x0
workspace 2 screen 1280
workspace 3 screen x0
workspace 3 screen 1 www
workspace 4 screen 0 mail
Thus, no more flickering because the window was first mapped and then
moved. Especially users of multiple monitors should be happy now ;-).
Rather radical change, though, so be prepared for problems.
In the case of floating clients which have no container, the values
were still the ones from your old workspace, which was a problem if
your dimensions didn’t match…
Also update documentation (manpage, userguide).
To make the code easier to read/write when checking if a client is
floating, introduce client_is_floating().
Details which are missing: A command to hide/show all floating clients,
moving/resizing clients with your mouse holding Mod1 (click anywhere
in the client, not just on its borders), resize/move by keyboard, select
next/previous client by keyboard
Killing a dock client and having destroyed workspace 1 before (or the workspace
on which the dock client was started when it was not auto-started) crashed i3 before
this bugfix.
When you disable a Xinerama screen (think of removing a video projector),
the workspaces of that screen need to be re-assigned to another screen.
Previously, the clients affected by this re-assignment did not get re-
configured, which made them appear on the next screen which got configured
at the position of the old one again if you did not switch to the reassigned
workspace before.
So, to reproduce it:
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 --right-of LVDS
move windows to the new workspace
xrandr --output VGA --off
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 --right-of LVDS
This fixes ticket #36
There was a race condition when mapping a window and not setting the event mask
before. Therefore, the ReparentNotify and (more important) the UnmapNotify generated
by reparenting were not received, thus leaving the awaiting_useless_unmap variable
of the client "true". To just make it work, in previous commits the DestroyNotify
handler was introduced. Fortunately, with fixing this race condition by first
setting the event mask and mapping the window afterwards, we can remove this handler.
As for the dock windows, there were quite some occurences were client->container
was used without checking if the client is inside a container at all.
Furthermore, the client’s strut containing the space to reserve at the screen edge
is now checked and the desired height is set to the window’s height if the strut
contains 0 or if no strut was specified at all.
