Hi,
I'm getting the following in .xsession-errors:
x-session-manager[7478]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'xmonad' of
required component 'windowmanager'
Any hints?

Hi,
If you want to use xmonad from gnome-session-2.26, the correct way seems to be to specify # gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type string
This unfortunately has the effect that gnome-session waits a few seconds for the window manger (now xmonad) to register via dbus, see http://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement/GnomeSession
xmonad does not support the gnome-session protocol, but you can work around the delay with this code in xmonad.hs
import XMonad [...] import System.Environment import System.Cmd [...] main = do env <- getEnvironment case lookup "DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID" env of Just id -> do rawSystem "dbus-send" ["--session","--print-reply=string","--dest=org.gnome.SessionManager","/org/gnome/SessionManager","org.gnome.SessionManager.RegisterClient","string:xmonad","string:"++id] return () Nothing -> return () xmonad $ defaultConfig { [...] -- simple stuff }
I guess some stuff can be improved about this, such as using the DBus package from hackage, but it’s a start.
Greetings, Joachim
