xmonad can be started from GDM, by selecting "xmonad" or "xmonad GNOME"
|
|
|
|
|
from the session menu.

|
|
|
|
|
By default at startup Fedora's xmonad-start displays
|
|
|
|
|
"man xmonad" in an xterm to help newcomers and to encourage
|
|
|
|
|
configuring xmonad by creating "~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To stop this behaviour, just create "~/.xmonad/".

== Simple Desktop configuration ==
|
|
|
|
|
The default xmonad configuration does not work well with desktop environments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following basic generic configuration requires ghc-xmonad-contrib-devel
|
|
|
|
|
to be installed, and should get it working:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir ~/.xmonad
|
|
|
|
|
$ cat > ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs << EOF
|
|
|
|
|
import XMonad
|
|
|
|
|
import XMonad.Config.Desktop
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
main = xmonad desktopConfig
|
|
|
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
|
$
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can replace the generic "[Dd]esktop" by:
|
|
|
|
|
- "[Gg]nome" for better GNOME support
|
|
|
|
|
- "[Kk]de[4]" for KDE support
|
|
|
|
|
- "[Xx]fce" for XFCE support.
