* Implement proper handling of dynamically changing hostnameAnton Vorontsov2014-09-011-0/+90
Ignore-this: 2aeac6d2161e666d40cda6a09f78b208 The module implements a proper way of finding out whether the window is remote or local. Just checking for a hostname and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE being equal is often not enough because the hostname is a changing subject (without any established notification mechanisms), and thus WM_CLIENT_MACHINE and the hostname can diverge even for a local window. This module solves the problem. As soon as there is a new window created, we check the hostname and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE, and then we cache the result into the XMONAD_REMOTE property. Notice that XMonad itself does not know anything about hostnames, nor does it have any dependency on Network.* modules. For this module it is not a problem: you can provide a mean to get the hostname through your config file (see usage). Or, if you don't like the hassle of handling dynamic hostnames (suppose your hostname never changes), it is also fine: this module will fallback to using environment variables. darcs-hash:20140901072158-1836e-fa2b05c79ec3217d5024b7e050b2239dcf7de4b4.gz
