When I restart xmonad with a M-q command my xmobar disappears. There's an xmobar process running and it's not obviously blocked. (strace shows it doing things, including recvfrom and writev both with non-zero positive return codes).

Given that you're using the Ubuntu Gnome/Xmonad session, it's trapped under the nautilus desktop window. You probably want to set "lowerOnStart = False" in ~/.xmobarrc.

This seems to do the trick; thanks!

If this isn't sufficient and you need to actively raise it, something like this in the ManageHook might work:

appName =? "xmobar" --> liftX . withDisplay . (io .) . flip raiseWindow =<< ask

This fails with xmonad.hs:122:76: Couldn't match expected type `Endo WindowSet' with actual type `()' Expected type: Display -> Window -> IO (Endo WindowSet) Actual type: Display -> Window -> IO () In the first argument of `flip', namely `raiseWindow' In the second argument of `(.)', namely `flip raiseWindow' But I'll try to get back to the list with a version that works (for future reference).
