DWM + Vimperator issue

kismet010 · 2010-08-29 22:26:39

Answer might be something stupid but... since yesterday, the "navigator tag" where i have firefox+vimperator don't show the dwm's bar. It's like the fullscreen mode is on but no... tilling, monocle or floating modes doesn't change the problem and when i open urxvt and move firefox, bar and terminal are in the backend... i think firefox is at floating mode.. but i don't change the config.h...
so.. what's happening?

Can't you just change the mode? Mod + m for monocle.

Maybe firefox is in it's native fullscreen mode? Try pressing F11 in firefox and see if that does anything.

kismet010 probably pressed Mod + f and set floating mode.

thanks for the quickly reply
F11 only hide the vimperator cmd bar
modkey+m/f/t only modify other clients (i see when i move firefox with the mouse)

Modes work for all apps. If you can't set firefox to monocle something is wrong.

kismet010 · 2010-08-29 23:02:45

ok..

Oh, don't cry, just tell us what happens if you set firefox to monocle - can you see the dwm bar? Can you hide it with Mod + b?

kismet010 · 2010-08-29 23:27:11

nothing happens. i can pick the client with the mouse and move out to see the bar and others clients back to firefox, and those clients responds to the f/t/m mode

What have you updated yesterday? Are you using firefox 3.x or 4? Regular dwm, dwm-sprinkles or some other? Does reinstalling dwm help?

kismet010 · 2010-08-29 23:38:32

updated: catalyst / installed: xvba, mplayer-vaapi
firefox namoroka 3.6.8
dwm patched with pertag

all works perfectly this morning, but between a change from the "messenger tag" to the "navigator tag", that happens.

i don't want to reinstall/configure all again for this..

karol · 2010-08-29 23:43:00

Sorry, what's "messenger tag" and the "navigator tag"?
As far as I know, pertag means you can have some of your tags tiled, some other monocle / floating / whatever, so firefox should obey the modes just like any other app.

it's a vimperator problem, cos i renamed the .mozilla directory and firefox runs normally

thanks for your interest karol

That's a bit weird because I'm using dwm and vimperator and I'm fine :-)

kismet010 · 2010-08-29 23:57:08

i'm reading about some problems like mine with popups in vimperator. good luck for me..

cafaro · 2011-09-23 15:46:21

I actually have the same problem since yesterday in Vimperator (using dwm as well).

No idea what is causing this, but I'm probably going to use a more lightweight vi-like browser soon anyway.

Have you tired Mod1-Button3 ?
