I'm just starting to use Xmonad. I've looked at some example configs, but I haven't been able to understand much. I'm trying to figure out how to put a dzen bar at the bottom of my screen with a date and battery indicator. My config file is here: http://pastebin.com/1uucAxvH Other questions I have: Assuming I have a separate chat workspace, could I have dzen flash that workspace when one of the windows wants attention? Or more generally, can have dzen or xmonad signal me when a window wants attention? Any advice in general for pidgin? Any advice in general for anything? I'm new to this, and it seems daunting, but I want to give it a chance. Thank you for any advice you have. -- Alex R
