Can you suggest a way to manifest this problem? I tried a bunch of stuff (shift+insert,

Meh, right problem, wrong specifics. xmonad's main loop isn't running, so the problem manifests when another program opens a non-override_redirect window. - the program may block waiting on xmonad to respond to ConfigureRequest-s, while xmonad is blocked on its output; - a badly behaved program may map its window anyway, and you won't be able to do anything about it if it pops over the dmenu. (I am a little surprised *dmenu* doesn't trigger #1, which makes me think it's either using override_redirect or it's case #2.) -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
