I took another look. I can load xmonad.hs in ghci just fine. The PATH is set fine in ~/.profile. xmonad.hs never compiles, no matter which method I use (i.e. there is nothing but xmonad.hs in ~/.xmonad). This is a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10. There is nothing in ~/.xsession-errors to suggest that xmonad was even tried. Spencer Janssen wrote:

I tried that and it seems xmonad was running i.e. windows weren't decorated, but they didn't fill tile across the screen and had their usual gnome size.

Actually, this sounds more like no window manager at all running. Is xmonad in your path? Is the executable or your xmonad.hs damaged in some way? _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad

Hi Tony and others,

I have managed to get xmonad running, however, I have to manually start it rather than being used as the default WM. Setting .~/.gnomerc doesn't make a difference.

Any tips in this regard? So close!

Configuring gnome to use xmonad as WM worked for me (Ubuntu 9.10) without problems by running gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type string as suggested on http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome Sven

Sorry, Tony, I only now see that you want to use xmonad 0.9. I use the xmonad version that comes with Ubuntu 9.10 (0.8.1), not 0.9, so my last post might not help you (?). Sven * Sven Hartenstein wrote:
