Personally, I can't work with the "everything else has to be restarted every time you want to try something" workflow. (I won't really be happy until I can do kernel upgrades without having to log out (How's the Hurd getting on?) :-)
ksplice, anyone?
The other alternative is xinit/startx, which launches a server and then feeds a connection to that server to a script which attaches things to it to make a session.
Any pointers on how to get this going?
Log in on the text console (ctrl-alt-f1 from the graphical login); "startx -- :1". Have your ~/.xinitrc set up to run xmonad (as previously mentioned, you can simply link it to an existing ~/.xsession). -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
