Possibly. xmonad is a bit different from other window managers and it may take a few minutes to acclimate. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

automatically generating template xmonad.hs if it doesn't exist
by Brent Yorgey 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hi all, I was just talking with cce in #xmonad, who suggested that it would be nice if xmonad, when starting up, checked for the presence of xmonad.hs in ~/.xmonad/ and installed the template xmonad.hs if it's not there. Especially for those installing xmonad via a packaged distribution, it may not be immediately obvious how to start configuring xmonad, where to put xmonad.hs, and so on. I thought I'd run this idea by the list to see what people think before I implement it... perhaps there's a good reason it doesn't do this already. -Brent

Issue 40: Screen focus does not follow the mouse pointer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=40 Comment #2 by taretz: It's more problematic with dualhead via Xrandr instead of xinerama, then mod-w,e,r don't seem to work at all. The windows are switchable between the screens but it feels very random, not predictable. When switching too fast and too often to get the desired setup I experienced some crashs. Or is this just me? I only build xmonad today, didn't have too much time yet to really explore it. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Xmonad 0.5 + Gnome
by Jevin Maltais 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

So I'd like to be Xmonad to replace metacity in gnome. I've read (and tried) the instructions over at: http://xmonad.org/gnome.html which is a great write-up. Unfortunately however, I just can't get it to fly with gnome. setting WINDOW_MANGER="/home/jevin/bin/xmonad" gets me gnome + xmonad but the gnome-panel is why weird on workspace 1 and simply does not appear on the other workspaces. Attached is the result. My xmonad.hs: import XMonad main = do xmonad defaultConfig { defaultGaps = [(24,0,0,0)] , borderWidth = 2 , normalBorderColor = "#222222" , focusedBorderColor = "#6666ff" , terminal = "gnome-terminal" } Also, the gnome-panel not longer seems to be included in the manageHook anymore.

xmonad user survey!
by Rickard Gustafsson 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

True that! Tagging is indeed far superior to workspaces. It is by far the biggest issue keeping me ambivalent in the choice between DWM and xmonad. For users not used to the tagging approach there won't be any difference. But tagging may not fit in with the ability to have different layouts on every desktop.
