Re: [xmonad] Recommended setup for coding

I think I see what is going on. When you close the terminal, a SIGHUP signal is sent. The default action for that signal is to immediately exit. You have a few options: * don't close that terminal * don't start xmonad from a terminal; start it with GNOME's regular facilities for starting the WM * run xmonad in a wrapper such as screen or nohup

When I switch with "killall metacity && nohup xmonad &" I can close the terminal without a problem. However starting Gnome with xmonad right from the start still doesn't work. I can live with that, but any further idea is appreciated. Cheers, Ralph
