Can someone give me some idiot-level step by step instructions for how to run xmonad inside xnest, alongside other running applications? I have all the pieces; I just need to know how to set up the config files or whatever. I know some of you have done this.
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). Caveat: I haven't tested this before sending - but it ought to be reasonable, I think. -- #!/bin/sh Xnest :1 -name "Xnest" +kb -ac -bw 5 -geometry 1260x780 & XNEST_PROC=$!
