Hello, I've decided to give xmonad a try after hearing some good things about it. I installed it and configured it as described in the wiki (https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_KDE). I have no knowledge of Haskell yet, so the only change I've made to the config given in the wiki is the change of 'kdeConfig' to 'kde4Config', as directed. When running, I'm unable to launch dmenu through mod-p, though I am able to start it with 'dmenu_run' in a terminal. I checked my .xsession-errors file, and found the following lines after trying: QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave. QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave. Bad _NET_DESKTOP with data[0]=-1 QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave. QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave. [/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub] QObject::connect: Cannot connect XSyncBasedPoller::destroyed() to (null)::_k_x11FilterDestroyed() QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.

Bad _NET_DESKTOP with data[0]=-1 This is all through Debian Wheezy with KDE4, with all relevant installations done through Debian's repositories. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

. When running, I'm unable to launch dmenu through mod-p,
Do you actually want dmenu instead of KDE's run dialog? You'll need to replace the keybinding in that case. (I was trying to help you in IRC but it was not clear that you actually wanted dmenu. I even specifically said at least twice that it would not run dmenu.) If you specifically want dmenu, then look at XMonad.Util.EZConfig to add something like [("M-p", spawn "dmenu_run")] to the keybindings, to override the use of KDE's run dialog. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

KDE's would probably be preferable, but I can't get it to work either.
