-- | The X monad, a StateT transformer over IO encapsulating the window
-- manager state
--
-- Dynamic components may be retrieved with 'get', static components
-- with 'ask'. With newtype deriving we get readers and state monads
-- instantiated on XConf and XState automatically.

-- Layout handling

-- | The different layout modes
-- 'doLayout', a pure function to layout a Window set 'modifyLayout', 
-- 'modifyLayout' can be considered a branch of an exception handler.
--
data Layout = Layout { doLayout     :: Rectangle -> [Window] -> X [(Window, Rectangle)]

-- Based on ideas in /An Extensible Dynamically-Typed Hierarchy of Exceptions/,
-- Simon Marlow, 2006. Use extensible messages to the modifyLayout handler.
-- 
-- User-extensible messages must be a member of this class:
--
class Typeable a => Message a

--
-- A wrapped value of some type in the Message class.
--
data SomeMessage = forall a. Message a => SomeMessage a

--
-- And now, unwrap a given, unknown Message type, performing a (dynamic)
-- type check on the result.
--

fromMessage (SomeMessage m) = cast m

-- General utilities

-- | Lift an IO action into the X monad
io :: IO a -> X a
io = liftIO

-- | Lift an IO action into the X monad.  If the action results in an IO
-- exception, log the exception to stderr and continue normal execution.
catchIO :: IO () -> X ()
catchIO f = liftIO (f `catch` \e -> do hPutStrLn stderr (show e); hFlush stderr)

-- | spawn. Launch an external application
spawn :: String -> X ()

    return ()

-- | Restart xmonad via exec().
--
-- If the first parameter is 'Just name', restart will attempt to execute the
-- program corresponding to 'name'.  Otherwise, xmonad will attempt to execute
-- the name of the current program.
--
-- When the second parameter is 'True', xmonad will attempt to resume with the
-- current window state.

-- | Run a side effecting action with the current workspace. Like 'when' but
whenJust :: Maybe a -> (a -> X ()) -> X ()
whenJust mg f = maybe (return ()) f mg

-- | Conditionally run an action, using a X event to decide
whenX :: X Bool -> X () -> X ()
whenX a f = a >>= \b -> when b f

-- | Grab the X server (lock it) from the X monad
-- withServerX :: X () -> X ()
-- withServerX f = withDisplay $ \dpy -> do
--     io $ grabServer dpy
--     f

-- | A 'trace' for the X monad. Logs a string to stderr. The result may
-- be found in your .xsession-errors file
trace :: String -> X ()
trace msg = io $! do hPutStrLn stderr msg; hFlush stderr
