I am running with xmonad 0.8-1 on Ubuntu 8.10, integrating with the Gnome module
My configuration is quite simple http://pastie.org/453213 - I haven't really grasped the Haskell syntax yet, so the configuration above has been "learning by example".
I have one annoying problem: When running Ruby autotests, the test-program always ends its test-run with a message in the corner of my screen - this is done, using Gnome's "notify-send" command.
But after switching to xmonad, I have not been able to get anything shown with "notify-send". Can anyone help me? Should I change something in my xmonad config or am I to use another command instead of "notify-send"?
Kind regards,
Carsten
You need to start this gnome notification daemon which is not running when gnome isn't started, but is needed for actually displaying the notify-send messages. There are also more light-weight alternatives to that like the xfce notification daemon.
