Hi,
I keep running into people on #xmonad or #haskell who are trying to configure, eg, gdm to run xmonad. I've never run a display manger, so I have no clue how to help them. I think it would be great if we had a page that listed most popular display manger type configurations, and how to set up xmonad in them.
For kde you can set the environment variable KDEWM=xmonad. Then KDE will start like normal, but it will use xmonad instead of kwin. I believe you would have to make your .xsession look something like this: #!/bin/sh export KDEWM=/usr/local/bin/xmonad /usr/bin/x-session-manager However, I have not tested this. hth, j.
