I use Ubuntu 9.10 too, with xmonad 9.1 from debian sid. My gnome panel works perfectly, but I don't use the log applet. In your xmonad.hs there is a section about integrating the log applet with this comment: -- This retry is really awkward, but sometimes DBus won't let us get our -- name unless we retry a couple times. ... Maybe that's the reason for the business. You could try top or htop, to find out what's going on. Ralph On Sat, 16 Jan 2010 09:55:05 -0800 (PST) Lara Michaels <laramichaels1978@yahoo.com> wrote:
Hi everyone,
I have followed the wiki instructions to setup xmonad on Gnome (Ubuntu 9.10)
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome
and it worked beautifully. Just one thing is wrong: the cursor is permanently in "busy" state. I have noticed that this only happens when I enable (and add to the gnome panel) xmonad log applet. Oddly, if I do "sudo killall Xorg" and start my session over the problem is gone.
I have seen others mention this problem

but couldn't find any solution to it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
thanks!
lara
