I have a key set to runOrRaise "firefox3". Recently, it stopped working and I can't figure out why. Running firefox3 manually from the shell works fine, just not the shortcut. Is there a way to see what errors xmonad is receiving when it tries to run the command? I already tried looking at .xmonad/xmonad.errors, it just says:
on the commandline: Warning: -no-recomp is deprecated: Use -fforce-recomp instead
Which I suspect is related to xmonad rather than my firefox call.
Another place to look is ~/.xession-errors. It is file where xmonad's stdout and stderr are redirected. Outputs of processes created by xmonad are redirected to the same place. So if xmonad tries to launch something and it fails there is chance that it will write something meaningful to that file.
