Issue 199: Prompt.AppendFile crashes when file is not writable http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=199 Comment #3 by byorgey: Hmm, if it is crashing that is indeed a bug. But I am still unable to reproduce it. When I try this, nothing happens, xmonad keeps running as normal. Can other people try reproducing this as well? I am especially interested to know if this happens in 0.7 but not in latest darcs. Also, you may be interested to know that if you put xmonad in a loop in your .xsession or .xinitrc, something like this: while $HOME/local/bin/xmonad; do sleep 2; done then it will transparently restart itself in case a crash unexpectedly occurs. Of course, this is just a bandaid; xmonad should not crash, and fixing it when it does is a high priority for us. But this sort of thing can save you inconvenience if it does occasionally crash.
