Andrea, Why can xmobar read from a file but not a named pipe?
To read a named pipe you must wait for output.
by the way I've tried. Attached you'll find my attempt that reads from ~/.xmobar-status.
Save the file in Plugins/ In Config.hs: import Plugins.XMonadLog
and change the runnableTyope to something like: runnableTypes :: (Command,(Monitors,(XLog,())))
in the configuration, commands, add: , Run XLog and %xlog% in the template.
If you move around through workspaces maybe xmobar will be able to display something, but it won't last...

Here's a hack that seems to work. Run with "xmonad | xmobar". I'll comment tomorrow on how we might accomplish this without unsafePerformIO hacks. Cheers, Spencer Janssen
