I have switched from gnome to xfce and came across some issues with xfce + xmonad. One more prominent issue was that xfce4-panel checks if a window manager is running. It does so by looking through all atoms with XGetSelectionOwner(). However, XMonad does not set a window manager atom using XSetSelectionOwner(). Therefore it takes some time until xfce4-panel
You're running stock 0.9.1/0.9.2, which is effectively 2 years old at this point. Upgrade to the darcs version; the correct version of your code (which also handles replacing and handoff from a currently running window manager, unlike yours) is already there.
I'm running already the latest darcs version: [3049 /data/src/xmonad/xmonad.darcs$] darcs log --last 1 Thu Oct 13 18:25:09 CEST 2011 Daniel Wagner <daniel@wagner-home.com> * change the default mod+p binding to keep up with changes to dmenu The code for replacing and handoff is actually there - that's where i've taken some of these snippets above. However, there is no general registration code at startup. xSetSelectionOwner is only called in line 390 from replace :: Display -> ScreenNumber -> Window -> IO () Am I supposed to start XMonad always using the --replace option?
