my xsession loads gnome stuff -- but doesn't load xmonad. I'm a non-programer type so maybe I'm missing something simple. Here is my .xsession: ------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash # Load resources xrdb -merge .Xresources xloadimage -onroot -full-screen ~/pics/nyc1.jpg & # Set up an icon tray trayer --edge top --align right --transparent true --tint 000000 --SetDockType true --SetPartialStrut true --expand true --width 10 --height 12 & #trayer --edge top --align right --SetDockType true --SetPartialStrut true --expand true --width 10 --transparent true --tint 0x191970 --height 12 & # Set the background color xsetroot -solid black -cursor_name top_left_arrow # Fire up apps xscreensaver -no-splash & if [ -x /usr/bin/nm-applet ] ; then nm-applet --sm-disable & fi if [ -x /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager ] ; then sleep 3 gnome-power-manager fi exec xmonad -- Daniel Goldin 626.817.2462
