Re: [xmonad] xmonad as a stand-alone?

Quoting Christopher Svanefalk :

Alright, having learnt a bit more about the system, I was thinking this: I could just run the standard GDM (long history, low dependencies), and then run xmonad through it. However, I need to resolve how to get the system to automatically run GDM after booting? Is there a config file I can hack to accomplish this?

On my desktop, this is /etc/inittab. There's a line like this towards the end: x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon YMMV, of course, especially if you're using upstart instead of sysvinit. ~d
