Fwd: Integration with Gnome 3
Hello guys, Firstly, I know my problem is mostly related with Gnome, but I know it is more likely that one of you can help me. I'm trying to run Xmonad with Gnome 3.14 on my Arch system. I tried following both the ArchWiki[1] and the XmonadWiki[2] with no success. What I get is when I launch the session, the gnome-session breaks and I get a message "Somethings has gone really wrong" and my only option is to logout. If anyone has a solution for this or can point me in the right direction, I would be really grateful. Cheers, [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmonad#GNOME_3_and_xmonad [2] http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome#Gnome3 -- Alexandre Medeiros Institute of Computing - University of Campinas BSc Computer Science Student GNU/Linux user #562691 http://alemedeiros.sdf.org/

Both those pages are out of date (and I have just unlinked the xmonad wiki one, replacing it with a stub MATE page which is not yet complete but will probably work if you don't mind losing the standard MATE session). Gnome 3 > 3.8 does not work with any window manager other than gnome-shell. It is increasingly difficult to backport gnome-flashback, which creates a Gnome 2 environment with a Gnome 3-like theme. The closest you can get to the old Gnome 2 integration is to integrate with MATE. Gnome 3 is not possible, for xmonad or any other window manager. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
