| I haven't used this for a while, and there might be more bulletproof | ways to do this, but I used to run xmonad inside xmonad (with | different modkeys) using this shell script (or rather, something like | it - I've thrown out some vestigal stuff).
Oh good stuff! It actually works. Thanks.
On the original xterm I get some "Could not init font path element" errors, plus "XLib: extension "XINERAMA" missing"
but they don't seem to stop the xnest window displaying and xmonad functioning inside it.
Ok, so I'm off home base, thanks.
Wonderful. Next step is probably to walk through the 'guided tour' to get a sense of the interface, and then try some simple changes to Config.hs;recompile; mod-q to reload the changes and see them reflected. -- Don
