Hello René,
It looks like you have another window manager open. You can only have one at a time. Yes: Gnome 2.30.2 I installed a recent xmonad (from tarball, etc.) $ xmonad --version => xmonad 0.11 -- I think I am nearer but:
rbm@lenovo:~$ xmonad --replace X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Serial number of failed request: 7 Current serial number in output stream: 8 --------------------------------------------------------- gives the same. !! After more then 10 years of Linux practice, I dont know how to not lauch a wm :) I tried the maintenance mode [black terminal after rebooting] - as root and as user : it doesnt work ..
I suggest upgrading xmonad to one that supports a --replace flag, (and then running xmonad --replace), or using:
It seems the -- replace option of Version 0.11 has no effect.
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.9.1/docs/XMonad-Util-Rep...
There are many other ways to make gnome start xmonad instead of metacity.
Regards, Adam

I am new on this list.
I installed xmonad via Synaptic on Debian 6. & Gnome 2.30.2 The version of xmonadr seems to be "xmonad 0.9.1-2 + b1" I get the error message:
rbm@lenovo:~$ xmonad /home/rbm/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Serial number of failed request: 7 Current serial number in output stream: 8
What is wrong ?
René
