Gnome3 just hit my distribution and after the upgrade from Gnome2 I no longer get xmonad on login :(
What distro are you using btw?
There are many things I like about Gnome3 and the shell, but I've gotten really used to xmonad, manipulating windows via the keyboard, and most importantly I love the tiling window placement.
I can't seem to find any description of using xmonad with Gnome3, is there any?
I did this recently for Fedora 15 (also for bluetile) which will ship shortly with GNOME3. Short summary story: 1. create a xmonad.session file for gnome-session to live in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions iirc 2. run: gnome-session --session=xmonad 3. (Better create an xsession file to do 2.) The fedora 15 packages of xmonad and bluetile already have the above and should just work: you can just select "xmonad GNOME" (or "GNOME + bluetile") from gdm. Hth, Jens ps Note however gnome-session seems a bit "sensitive" yet about other wm's (bug perhaps?) and sometimes show a "Fail whale" dialog - I guess because it didn't notice the wmgr... but I have just mean ignoring/minimizing though - until I have time to look further into it.
