Gnome3 just hit my distribution and after the upgrade from Gnome2 I no longer get xmonad on login :(

There are many things I like about Gnome3 and the shell, but I've gotten really used to xmonad, manipulating windows via the keyboard, and most importantly I love the tiling window placement.

I can't seem to find any description of using xmonad with Gnome3, is there any?

Well, isn't GnomeShell part of the new Mutter WM? So if you manage to work out how to use xmonad, then AFAIK you lose the shell.

Some info appears to be here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_3#Introduction

That page doesn't explain how to replace metacity with something else, like xmonad, when using Gnome3 in fallback mode. I've failed to find anything about this online; I had a working setup in Gnome2, and the configuration is still there when looking in gconf, but it doesn't work in Gnome3. Any pointers on this would be appreciated. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
