Re: [xmonad] Patch: improved support for replacing an existing window manager

For reference, I've added to contrib the module XMonad.Util.Replace, which seems to work as well as these core patches, other than the lack of command line flag support (the xmonad binary does not pass flags other than --resume to the ~/.xmonad/xmonad-$arch-$os). Any suggestions for addressing that problem (or the alternative of running `~/.xmonad/xmonad-$arch-$os --replace' instead of /usr/bin/xmonad) Mon Oct 12 01:23:06 EDT 2009 Adam Vogt * Add U.Replace which implements a --replace behavior. * On Thursday, September 17 2009, Jan Vornberger wrote:

Hi there!

First patch from Bluetile's repository for consideration to go into xmonad mainline. This is the original patch (see http://osdir.com/ml/xmonad@haskell.org/2009-05/msg00010.html) plus two more patches, which

* make this take effect only if the '--replace' flag is given * add a config option 'alwaysReplace' to override the --replace flag

Best regards!
