Description

This module provides a method to cease management of a window without unmapping it. This is especially useful for applications like kicker and gnome-panel. See also XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks for more a more automated solution.

To make a panel display correctly with xmonad:

- Determine the pixel size of the panel, add that value to `defaultGaps`
- Launch the panel
- Give the panel window focus, then press `mod-d` (or whatever key you have bound `demanage` to)
- Convince the panel to move/resize to the correct location. Changing the panel's position setting several times seems to work.

Synopsis

- demanage :: Window -> X ()

# Usage

        import XMonad.Actions.DeManage

And add a keybinding, such as:

    , ((modm,               xK_d     ), withFocused demanage)

For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see XMonad.Doc.Extending.
