Hi,
What about if some next xmonad release comes with an automatic configurator? It could work like that:
xmonad-config --default xmonad-config --gnome xmonad-config --ubuntu-gnome xmonad-config --kde (...)
I like the principle but not the execution of this idea. What would the internals of that program look like? It's just a list of pre-made xmonad.hs files, and it spits one out based on the command-line argument.
Sure, that's the idea! That program would select from a list of pre-made xmonad.hs files, and then do the most difficult thing when configuring xmonad: place it in the right place. This is actually the main problem I would like to solve. I needed just a few attempts to get a working configuration file, but hours to find where it should be. 'man' files, xmonad web page and my distribution package use different and contradicting conventions about that. The nice thing about a "xmonad-config" is that it could be adapted to different distributions, without messing with the main source. Maurício
