Re: PyTyle 2: On-demand automatic/manual tiling for EWMH compliant WM's

I am really impressed with this and it works great on my system. I got composite to work by using xcompmgr - I wanted this for Docky so I can't say if it works for anything else. I tried Cairo as an experiment and that didn't work - xcompmgr generally works better on my system anyway.

The only problem I've come across is that Chromium sometimes doesn't switch correctly to full screen when it's the only app' open. It's not really much of an issue and is probably more to do with Chromium to be honest than PyTyle2, especially as I haven't had it happen with anything else.

Edit: I'm running openbox with Docky and tint2 both set to autohide..

I had this too and it was caused by chromiums custom window-borders. Right-clicking on the title-bar and enabling system-window-borders should work around this issue.

Re: PyTyle 2: On-demand automatic/manual tiling for EWMH compliant WM's

This was working great for me until recently. Now, I cannot load pytyle2. When I type it into the command line, I get this error output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pytyle2", line 27, in <module>

    workspace = Workspace.WORKSPACES[self.properties['_NET_WM_DESKTOP']]
KeyError: 'all'

Thank you in advance for your help and for a great program.

Edit: Added missing error message at bottom.

@mynameisneo - Is that the whole error message? It looks like there is something missing from the bottom.

mynameisneo, I have exact same problem.

Have you find any workaround?
