In a previous thread dons mentioned mod-ctrl-shift-q which calls 'restart' which exec()s itself. However when I do that xmonad closes and I'm back at my xdm prompt.
Maybe that has to do with my ~/.xsession:
#!/bin/bash xsetroot -gray & Esetroot ~/pictures/lastlight1280.jpg & firefox http://mail.google.com/mail & /home/bas/bin/xmonad
It sounds like /home/bas/bin is not in your $PATH. The restart key calls 'xmonad', not the same file that was originally executed. The default shell on my system is not bash, so .xsession doesn't pick up my local paths (sourced out of ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc). I have something like this at the end of my ~/.xsession: exec bash -l -c 'xmonad'
