I noticed that I can change it in include/ipc.h, however something like

enum LayoutAlgorithm
{
    LAFloat = 0,
    LATile,
    LAMonocle,

    LALast,
};

seems to break all layouts besides floating..

Just for the record, this is a known issue. Won't fix since Adobe Flash is non-free software and I rarely use it. When/if other software shows the same problems, I'll investigate further.

Here's what happens:

• Suppose you watch a YouTube video using the Flash plugin in Firefox. Now you hit the plugin's "fullscreen" button.
• Firefox creates a new window for the plugin.
• The new window issues a ConfigureRequest before mapping the window. At that stage, we don't manage the window yet. Thus, we blindly acknowledge the request.
• Next, the new window issues a MapRequest. We now evaluate EWMH hints and make the window fullscreen.
• However, Flash ignores all changes to its window size. There's no way to resize the darn thing. It only uses those values of the reply to the very first ConfigureRequest.
• If you have more than one screen, then the initial ConfigureRequest will use the geometry of the very first screen. Thus, your "fullscreen" Flash window will always have that size -- which might be too small or too large if the window is shown on another monitor.

By the way, this is broken in dwm, too.

sxhkd 0.5.6 removed the ! prefix (baskerville/sxhkd@0759508). It is no longer possible to spawn processes on motion events. Instead, these events are always written to a UNIX socket.

This works fine with bspwm (sxhkd is developed by the same person who develops bspwm) because it listens on a UNIX socket to receive commands. katriawm does not do this. We expect IPC commands in X11 ClientMessages.

The only way to make katriawm work with sxhkd 0.5.6 is to use some kind of daemon that listens on a UNIX socket and translates those events into something katriawm understands. This is precisely NOT what I want to do.

I do understand the rationale behind sxhkd's change. But for us, it's very bad news.

All build instructions and *.h I used can be found here: https://github.com/6c37/crux-ports-git/tree/3.2/katriawm

Like the title says, I start katriawm with xinit, spawn an URxvt window using an sxhkd shortcut, and it just spawns the window in the top left corner without any decorations. Is this the intended behavior, am I doing something wrong?
