Re: [xmonad] xmonad 0.9 on ubuntu 9.10

That's precisely what I did, but xmonad won't start itself. I have to manually start it at a terminal. Sven Hartenstein wrote:

Hi Tony and others,

I have managed to get xmonad running, however, I have to manually start it rather than being used as the default WM. Setting .~/.gnomerc doesn't make a difference.

Any tips in this regard? So close!

Configuring gnome to use xmonad as WM worked for me (Ubuntu 9.10) without problems by running

gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type string

as suggested on http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome
