Hello, being a noob trying to get started with xmonad (my first WM besides GNOME + some very brief experimentation), I have run into the fact that I no longer have my applications (such as xchat, skype and a clock) docked in a tray.

Is there a document explaining how us GNOME-converts can get all the good bits we once once had as well as the good bits of xmonad?
I'm not GNOME user or expert, just trying to clarify: you launched gnome-panel and it doesn't pick tray icons, right? -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC)

I have recently been pointed to ManageDocks, so I expect this is what everyone else is doing :) I'll check it out. - -- Tony Morris http://tmorris.net/ Real-world problems are simply degenerate cases of pure mathematical problems. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFIoq7ymnpgrYe6r60RAt2wAKCfwMZMVCckc6y39j8prZKhwnthZwCWJduk qxQAnB9DsogUKOnGc5iRuw== =7ZHp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

ManageDocks is definately the right direction. You almost certainly also want to use Ewmhdesktops; It makes xmonad play much more nicely with gnome panel.
