So I'd like to be Xmonad to replace metacity in gnome. I've read (and tried) the instructions over at: http://xmonad.org/gnome.html which is a great write-up. Unfortunately however, I just can't get it to fly with gnome.
setting WINDOW_MANGER="/home/jevin/bin/xmonad" gets me gnome + xmonad but the gnome-panel is why weird on workspace 1 and simply does not appear on the other workspaces. Attached is the result.
The instructions are out of date; use the EwmhDesktops extension if you want to run a panel or dock, whether Gnome, KDE, or standalone. (defaultGaps and the manageHook were a bit of a hack and broke if e.g. the panel tried to display a dialog box; EwmhDesktops does it correctly.)
Can someone familiar with gnome either update that document, or move its contents to the wiki, so it can be updated by others, then? -- Don
