01:16:01 <fizzie> Ugh. Steam has never played terribly well with my Xmonad configuration (context menus sometimes don't want to show up), but this latest update just got it into a completely broken "window borders keeps flickering between active/inactive, xmonad process uses 100% CPU and mostly doesn't accept any keyboard/mouse input" mode. Wonder what's up with that.
01:18:42 <geekosaur> "focus war", usually means the app has decided to steal focus back every time xmonad reassigns it
01:23:12 <geekosaur> I am curious as to what X events are happening in that situation, but getting that information is moderately nightmarish even for an expert
01:23:28 <fizzie> Yeah. It's happened very rarely in some other situations as well, but now it seems very constant.
01:24:28 <fizzie> Tried it with no other windows (to speak of; there's a few bars) visible, and it did the same thing for its "waiting for network" splash dialog; then Xmonad just exited. Have to check what it wrote in the log.
01:24:57 <fizzie> "xmonad-x86_64-linux: user error (Error in function getWindowAttributes)" apparently.
01:25:16 <fizzie> This might not be a very up-to-date copy of Xmonad, should probably fix that first before digging any deeper.
01:25:35 <geekosaur> race condition (although that means we missed a bracket somewhere) where a window went away before it could be queried
01:26:53 <geekosaur> which suggests that instead of a focus war, the program is spamming window creations/deletions
01:48:09 <fizzie> Mhm. It did seem to do it even after updating to latest commit. However removing `withUrgencyHook NoUrgencyHook` from my config (as suggested in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9376#issuecomment-1904614763 for similar issues) does seem to have fixed it.
01:50:03 <geekosaur> that seems odd; with `NoUrgencyHook` it only tracks urgency
01:51:53 <fizzie> I do also have a logHook that calls `readUrgents` as well. (And then includes the results in a thing that gets written to DBus.)
01:53:01 <geekosaur> right, but that shouldn't do anything that would cause steam to delete/recreate a window
01:54:43 <geekosaur> it does getWindowAttributes to look for the X11-style urgency flag, then checks _NET_WM_STATE for the EWMH/Wayland-like urgency flag
02:04:33 <fizzie> Yeah, I can't really see how that'd affect Steam either. Over on the other end of that DBus signal, my bar does change the style in which a workspace is displayed, but that seems quite unrelated too.
02:05:26 <fizzie> TBH, I don't think I have anything that actually sets the urgency hint for anything meaningful, so I'd be fine just not having that (modulo being annoyed at not understanding a problem).
02:06:12 <geekosaur> ironically, I'm using one right now (hexchat 🙂 )
02:08:28 <fizzie> Definitely had something when I originally set it up (an email client of some sort maybe), but...
02:09:32 <fizzie> The Steam menu bar is still broken (as described in that issue; clicking just makes the menu flash briefly open but then close itself immediately) even after the urgency thing, but that's how it's been for a while and sounds like an unrelated problem.

20:39:22 <haskellbridge> <m​c47> Solid geekosaur do we just merge #878? I'll keep it in mind for the release notes.
20:41:46 <geekosaur> we asked for comments on reddit, so far nobody has said anything
20:42:07 <geekosaur> I vote for merge, I think Solid already commented on the ticket
