I had been thinking of the opposite route: Keep the normal Gnome session but just replace the window manager. (Gnome has a setting that says which WM to run.) I'm not sure how that will pan out.
This is the same approach I'd like to take. I've tried doing: export WINDOW_MANAGER="/usr/bin/xmonad" but I'm always stuck with Metacity. That var seems to be ignored because xmonad doesn't appear to even launch. Going the opposite route, I've had trouble getting gnome-panel to launch inside the gap -- it wants to go into the main area instead. Has anyone else gotten this to work, and how? -- Alex Tarkovsky
