Re: [xmonad] Issue 493 in xmonad: spawnPipe opens another instance of the applicatioon

Comment #4 on issue 493 by MathStuf@gmail.com: spawnPipe opens another instance of the applicatioon http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=493 I would recommend using xmonadpropwrite instead of spawnPipe in this case. An example of xmobarrc[1] xmonad.hs[2] are in my dotfiles repo. Not all distros package xmonadpropwrite (it's a script in the xmobar repo, but not built by default). I install it for Fedora, but you may have to ask your distro to ship it as well. [1]http://git.benboeckel.net/dotfiles.git/tree/dotfiles/base/X11/xmobar/xmobarr...
