Issue 153: Need to type keybindings twice after startup for effect http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=153 Comment #1 by SpencerJanssen: This may seem silly, but I'd just like to make sure: have you given xmonad enough time to initialize and begin listening for keypresses before typing them? If the cached xmonad binary is stale compared to your xmonad.hs, this may take a significant amount of time. Perhaps another program is stealing this first keypress? I'm not familiar enough with the programs in your .xsession to know whether this is the case. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
