qtile: Bar not showing up on reload

Currently using this config

When I reload qtile with qtile.cmd_reload_config or lazy.reload_config, the windows reload, but the bar doesn’t.

This is after restarting. I don’t think it’s related to the issue though.

OK, the PR approach looks good if this is going to work out this issue 😃

Ok - so there is something in your config that’s triggering the issue.

What you could try is starting with the default config and gradually replace parts with bits from your own config until you find which bit causes the break. At that point we can then see if this is a qtile bug or whether it’s an error in your config.

I did the bisect with the good revision being v0.20.0 and nothing useful came through.

    Add command to centre floating windows

    This is from a discussion in the qtile-dev group: add a new
    `cmd_center` to position a floating window in the middle of the
    screen.

    v0.20.0

Now I’m building from the AUR. I don’t think the results should be any different than the sudo pip install . though.
