[Bug 874855] New: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol

[Red Hat Bugzilla]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874855

            Bug ID: 874855
        QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
          Severity: unspecified
           Version: 17
          Priority: unspecified
                CC: haskell-devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,

          Assignee: mathstuf(a)gmail.com
           Summary: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS
                    protocol
        Regression: ---
      Story Points: ---
    Classification: Fedora
                OS: Unspecified
          Reporter: jon.vanalten(a)redhat.com
              Type: Bug
     Documentation: ---
          Hardware: Unspecified
        Mount Type: ---
            Status: NEW
         Component: xmonad
           Product: Fedora

Description of problem:
I experience symptoms of this problem primarily when using java programs (but
not all java programs).  Where there is a GUI component that should allow text
entry, it is not possible to place the cursor in that component and allow typed
text to appear there.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Currently seeing this in 0.10-11 but has been observed since I started using
xmonad some months ago.

How reproducible:

One known example of java app affected by this bug is thermostat.
# yum install thermostat
$ thermostat service --start
(this^ will block terminal)
$ thermostat gui

In left-most panel of gui, near upper edge, is a search box.  Try as I might, I
cannot place the cursor in this search box.  Works when using other WM.

Additional info:

This is a long-standing bug in upstream.

http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177

comment 33 at above link has patch that allegedly fixed things, which is
supposed to be upstream for some time now, but others find that they still have
this issue (and myself apparently).  comment 107 may have useful info for how
to build/install xmonad in rpm package such that java7 users (ie all of f17
users) are also not affected anymore.  I haven't tested it, not really
interested in installing wm separate from fedora repos, but I would be happy to
test any rpm builds that may sometime be available!

Same problem as mine https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=837388
although I use Bluetile, which utilizes Xmonad anyway. I would be really happy
if someone tried to apply the patch and made a package, Xmonad does seem to
take it bit slow, so waiting for upstream could take long. At least some test
package would be great, if patching it official would be a problem. The whole
Haskell patching and compiling thing is unfortunatelly over my head, otherwise
I would try it myself.

I ran into this issue as well, and extracted the relevant patches out of the
xmonad and XMonadContrib darcs repos (which have just recently incorporated the
patches from the bug).

Here are the patches (track-currently-processing-event.patch is for xmonad,
icccmfocus.patch is for XMonadContrib), as well as some quickly modified spec
files: http://ricky.fedorapeople.org/xmonad/

--- Comment #9 from Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
Ok, xmonad and ghc-xmonad-contrib also built for F19 Rawhide:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=366978 (xmonad)
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=366979 (xmonad-contrib)

These builds should work also on F18 (since rawhide is still on ghc-7.4.1)
but not for F17 or earlier.

If people could test either of these that would be most helpful.

Once we are sure they are good - it can also be backported to f16
if there is demand I guess.

Just updated my bluetile, ghc-xmonad and ghc-xmonad-contrib and did quick test
and Netbeans IDE with OpenJDK 1.7 works as supposed to, earlier mentioned test
case too. Awesome! :)

I've updated *xmonad* packages from the update (not bluetile, I don't use it)
and all is well.  Added karma.  Thanks a lot for getting this out, Jens!
