I've started using the run-xmonad.sh script, but I've found that only one of the menu bars start up correctly. I've recompiled dzen with xinerama support, and set the status bars to show up at the left and right of one of my screens. The menu that reads from the pipe for the workspace status works nicely. However the other statusbar (which I can start from a terminal by hand, and see it show up doing its thing correctly) doesn't show up. Any ideas all ?

Are you using darcs version? Are you using xmonad-clock.c? When you say that you can start it manually from terminal, are you using the exact same command (something like "xmonad-clock | dzen2 &")? If launched alone, does xmonad-clock show up its stuff correctly? Does run-xmonad.sh display any error/warnings? /Alexandre -- Hi, I'm a .signature virus! Please copy me in your ~/.signature.

yes, yes, yes, yes, and not that I can tell (I'm starting xmonad via gdm using /usr/share/xsessions)

Try updating to dzen2-0.4.0, then check that, e.g., date | dzen & does work. Perhaps xmonad-clock isn't in your path? -- Don

Ah, it was in MY path, but during the start process (I presume because I'm using gdm) it was not. Thanks Don Dave
