Er... I just noticed my "workaround" above doesn't work completely. This is a separate, possibly unrelated issue, but if anyone has had the same problem and is hunting for a workaround, you should add xmonad through the Gnome GUI. Go to the main menu -> system tools -> settings -> autostart applications, and add xmonad. Do NOT modify /usr/bin /gnome-session-xmonad. I wrote that based on my Japanese settings, so the exact wording may be different.
[The Problem] If you start xmonad before gnome-session like I suggested above, then dmenu doesn't seem to work at all. I bind mod-p to spawning "dmenu_run", but if I start xmonad before gnome-session and then press mod-p, the gnome panel blinks for a second and nothing happens. If I start up gnome-session without a window manager and then invoke xmonad, dmenu_run works fine. I didn't (and won't) have time to dig deeper into this dmenu issue, but I'll put this advice up here in case someone needs a quick fix. I'm attaching my xmonad.hs file. It's probably not related to the problem that xmonad doesn't start automatically, but it may well be related to the problem with dmenu_run not running. ** Attachment added: "xmonad.hs" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xmonad/+bug/1068869/+attachment/3405057/+files/xmonad.hs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068869 Title: Gnome with Xmonad starts without xmonad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xmonad/+bug/1068869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
