For some reason, the plot package in the J programming language only puts up a QT window for an instant, then it vanishes. This only seems to happen in the Manjaro i3 window manager, not xfce. Anyone know why this might be happening and whether there is an i3 setting that allows the plot windows to stay visible? Anyone got JQt working with i3? #jlang #i3wm #i3problems

Another problem: ever since I switched from #Awesomewm to #i3, several applications occasionally hanged (specifically: their user interface). No CPU spike or such was detected. It turns out that those apps were trying to send notifications. Awesomewm supports that out of the box. A quick fix:

systemctl --user start xfce4-notifyd

One thing I was not able to do with #i3 so far: with multiple displays, it is all too easy for the mouse cursor to accidentally cross the border to a different screen. I can think of two possible fixes:

1. Make the screen edges "sticky": you only cross them after going extra <n> pixels across the border.

2. Optionally prevent crossing screen borders altogether.

None of the two seems possible with i3.

@hund #i3Problems I found one problem so far (beyond the as of yet unlearned keyboard shortcuts, and for some reason a lack of a way to move between open windows with keyboard which I guess is just something I haven't found yet) and that is that GIMP flickers like crazy when spawning new windows or opens menu's

Now to more important matters...which Desktop should all my chatty apps be on..I thought #1... but that is probably best for the browser since it's the most used app... Maybe #8 in the back..so not to distracted all the time... but then again they are my #2 most used apps, som maybe they should be on desktop #2.... #i3problems
