Hi I was eventually able to package xmonad, xmonad-contrib and xmobar for Slackware. There are also the other ghc-6.8.2 packages that are needed for running, configuring, and reconfiguring xmonad: http://code.haskell.org/~arossato/xmonad-slack/ other slackware packages can be found here: http://gorgias.mine.nu/slack/haskell/ hope you'll enjoy. andrea
