Still trying to get Gnome + Xmonad Working
Hi guys! Thanks to those who updated the Xmonad+Gnome wiki page. I'm still having issues getting them to play nice together. I'm building from darcs as I'd like to play around with extending EWMH to work with the workspace panel applet. The issue is that all the windows seem to pile on top of each other on the top left corner. I've tried using the defaultGaps setting just to see if xmonad will shift itself down below the gnome-panel but it doesn't. It stays overtop of it. Initally: .gnomerc was set to exec /usr/bin/xmonad, but since I'm building from darcs in my home dir, I believe it should be ~/jevin/.xmonad/xmonad. So it seems that xmonad doesn't seem to be using the config (based on defaultGaps not working) where should it be pointed to? Anyways, any pointers are appreciated: darcs is built in ~/darcs/xmonad .gnomerc: export WINDOW_MANAGER=~/.xmonad/xmonad xmonad.hs: import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops myLogHook :: X () myLogHook = do ewmhDesktopsLogHook return () main = xmonad $ defaultConfig { borderWidth = 2 , manageHook = manageDocks , workspaces = map show [1 .. 5 :: Int] , logHook = myLogHook , layoutHook = avoidStruts (tall ||| Mirror tall ||| Full) } where tall = Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2) Jevin -- Jevin Maltais [jevin@techie.com] http://jevy.org

I have a more or less similar xmonad config, and the panel works just fine here – not sure where your problem might be. Is metacity still running?

AHA! I figured out the issue!
in .gnomerc. WINDOW_MANAGER should not contain a tilda.
So I changed:
WINDOW_MANAGER=~/bin/xmonad
to
WINDOW_MANAGER=/home/jevin/bin/xmonad
Cha Ching! Thanks for the reply.
