Hi, Here's how I got Xmonad to work with Gnome in unstable:
1. Create a file /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-flashback-xmonad.desktop containing: [Desktop Entry] Name=GNOME Flashback (Xmonad) Comment=This session logs you into GNOME Flashback with Xmonad Exec=gnome-flashback-xmonad TryExec=gnome-session Icon= Type=Application DesktopNames=GNOME-Flashback;GNOME; 2. Create an executable /usr/local/bin/gnome-flashback-xmonad containing: #! /bin/sh exec gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback-xmonad --disable-acceleration-check "$@" 3. Create a file /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-flashback-xmonad.session containing: [GNOME Session] Name=GNOME Flashback (Xmonad) RequiredComponents=gnome-flashback-init;gnome-flashback;gnome-panel;xmonad;gnome-settings-daemon; I can make a patch if you want. Note that you also need to apply a fix to bug #780463 or the session will hang waiting for Xmonad to signal that it started. -- Pelle
