... It sounds like /home/bas/bin is not in your $PATH. The restart key calls 'xmonad', not the same file that was originally executed.
The default shell on my system is not bash, so .xsession doesn't pick up my local paths (sourced out of ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc). I have something like this at the end of my ~/.xsession:
exec bash -l -c 'xmonad'
Yes, I think that's the problem. However If I put: exec bash -l -c 'xmonad' in my .xsession then after login I immediately jump back to xdm. Presumably because xmonad can't be found. If I put: exec bash -l -c '/home/bas/bin/xmonad' then xmonad will start up but the mod-ctrl-shift-q will still bring me back to xdm. Note that I have the following in .bashrc: export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH Bas van Dijk
