i use xmonad without anything. i use arandr (a gui-application) for setting up multiple monitors. i use wicd(-gui) for setting up wire(less)-connections. i use "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr" in my .xinitrc to set the cursor. i use "setxkbmap -layout de" to set my keyboard-layout. so, my point is that xmonad really doens't require/need desktop-environment. but, yea, it can be nice :) Am 04.04.2012 03:38, schrieb Sean Allen:
No right answer here. Just looking for information/advice about desktop environment integration.
I've been using xmonad for about 16 months now and loving it. I currently use it integrated with gnome 2. About the only things I use gnome for are:
gtk/desktop theming. easier multiple monitor setup. less x hassles.
basically, has a shortcut to getting the basics configured.
I'm going to be moving on from that machine soon and I'm trying to decide what to do.
xmonad w/
nothing? <-- and handle all of the above issues manually gnome 2? gnome 3? kde?
Problems using any of the above? Suggestions based on what I really care about with using gnome for best things to use? Seriously considering just going w/ xmonad but I really do like the little layer of 'not x' that I get with a gnome or kde or xfce etc.
Thanks. -Sean-
