Interesting. I think I may have found the problem (maybe). I've recently switched to Arch Linux and am using xmonad from the distro. Before, I was building using stack and I think I may have had some old binaries laying around. I removed them, and I think that solved the issue.

Something is repeatedly restarting xmonad. The first one fails with

xmonad: X11 error: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter), request code=18, error code=5

The last two fail with

X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Serial number of failed request: 7 Current serial number in output stream: 8

which indicates that the X server thinks another window manager (possibly another xmonad instance) is already running.

Hi,

I've started encountering a weird problem: roughly one in three times, something will crash when I try to log in, and bounce me back to the login manager (slim in my case). When I look in .xsession-errors, I can see:

XIO: fatal IO error 4 (Interrupted system call) on X server ":0.0" after 8690 requests (8690 known processed) with 0 events remaining. XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 2823 requests (6 known processed) with 0 events remaining. lxpolkit: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

But I'm not sure what this means or how to debug further. Here's the full .xsession-errors https://pastebin.com/t3AcV7dC

Any help would be appreciated.
