This is the same approach I'd like to take. I've tried doing:

export WINDOW_MANAGER="/usr/bin/xmonad"

but I'm always stuck with Metacity. That var seems to be ignored because xmonad doesn't appear to even launch.

In GDM please select « Use an xinit script » (or something similar) My ~/.xsession looks like: xsetroot -solid black xrdb ${HOME}/.Xdefaults xmodmap ${HOME}/.xmodmap ssh-add < /dev/null & DISPLAY=:0.0 xmonad At next login you can chose «Use previous session» Hope this helps. -- Sébastien Gross
