If you prefer, we could alternately support XMONAD_BROWSER. Note that putting the browser in the environment would also make it immediately runtime-configurable (well, with a few lines of code in contrib).

How do you see it?

I'm not sure what you're asking. You'd just start a terminal and then run echo $BROWSER to see what the value is. -- David Roundy

I think he means that if I go and define 'declare -xr BROWSER="firefox"' in my .zshenv, how does XMonad, which is running from .xinitrc which is running from an *old* Zsh instance, ever get to find out about the new environmental variable?

The shell which starts xmonad should read some config file. Stefan
