Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome and FVWM and recently installed Xmonad as well from the Ubuntu package manager. It comes up as a session option in the gdm login screen. Once I'm in Xmonad, what command can I use to log out so that I get back to the gdm log in screen? So far I have always had to restart, which isn't ideal. My second question is regarding the setup. I read the following page: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome Am I correct into assuming that I have to do this in case I want Gnome to use Xmonad as opposed to metacity? (which I don't want). For me it would be ideal just to be able to choose between window managers/desktop environments from the gdm login screen. In that case I don't really need to do anything else, don't I? Thanks a lot in advance.

By default, Alt-Shift-Q.

Depending upon which option from there you take, then I think you'd just start up Gnome and it would use XMonad (I don't use Gnome, so don't really know how it works). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

Correct. xmonad can be used on its own, you do not have to use it with gnome. Those instructions are indeed for replacing metacity with xmonad. If you do nothing, you will be able to choose bewteen (1) gnome+metacity and (2) xmonad. -Brent
Thanks a lot to all of you guys for your quick replies! Extremely helpful!
