For information, examples, and documentation, please see:

- man xmonad
- "/usr/share/doc/xmonad-$version/xmonad.hs" (full default basic configuration)

For extensions, including Desktop support, you need to install
ghc-xmonad-contrib-devel.

== Desktop support ==
xmonad does not work well with modern desktop environments out of the box.
Example xmonad configurations for use with a desktop:

=== Generic EWMH Desktop support ===

$ cat > xmonad.hs <<EOF
import XMonad
import XMonad.Config.Desktop

main = xmonad $ desktopConfig
EOF
$ mkdir -p ~/.xmonad/
$ cp -i xmonad.hs ~/.xmonad/

Then (re)start xmonad and it will compile and run the configuration.

=== GNOME ===
Modify above file:

$ sed -i -e s/Config.Desktop/Config.Gnome/ -e s/desktopConfig/gnomeConfig/ ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

Set xmonad as default window manager:

$ gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type string

=== KDE ===
Modify above file:

$ sed -i -e s/Config.Desktop/Config.Kde/ -e s/desktopConfig/kde4Config/ ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

=== Xfce ===
Modify above file:

$ sed -i -e s/Config.Desktop/Config.Xfce/ -e s/desktopConfig/xfceConfig/ ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
