I've seen a report that 47 doesn't work but I haven't tried it myself
yet (I'm in the middle of a system upgrade so I can't even say what
version worked for me). I've tried with starting gqview, moving it to
my stoppable workspace, then switching to that workspace and back and
after 5 seconds gqview was stopped, ps output showed T status.

Here's the relevant part of my config:

layoutHook = modWorkspace "stop" (ModifiedLayout (Stoppable "S" 5 Nothing)) $ reflectHoriz $ layoutHook defaultConfig
XMonad.workspaces = map show [1..8] ++ ["stop"]

(full config attached)

That's with xmonad 0.11.1.

Now I can confirm that Firefox 47.0 can be stopped as well. The
report I was talking about was due to running it in firejail.

Ok, thanks for checking!

Nothing gets stopped for me (even when trying something different from
xeyes, say, eog, which does set _NET_WM_PID), so I'm probably doing
something wrong.

I am running xmonad and xmonad-contrib from the development repository,
though, and this layoutHook:

  layoutHook = avoidStruts $ modWorkspace "3" stoppable $ layoutHook defaultConfig

If you can turn this change into a clean, one-commit pull request against xmonad/xmonad-contrib, I'll happily merge it. Or I'll be happy to make the change myself if you don't care about attribution in the git log.
