xmonad in Fedora is provided by 3 packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- xmonad-core: just the base window manager and X session files
|
2011-05-26 01:46:02 +00:00
|
|
|
- xmonad: additionally installs the devel library files needed to configure and customize xmonad
|
|
|
|
|
- xmonad-gnome: additionally includes a gnome session file and requires gnome-session and gnome-terminal
|

= Starting from GDM =
|
|
|
|
|
xmonad can be started from GDM by selecting "xmonad" in the session menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For GNOME support please install xmonad-gnome
|
|
|
|
|
and select "xmonad GNOME" in GDM's session menu, which will run
|
|
|
|
|
"gnome-session --session=xmonad".

|
2011-05-26 01:46:02 +00:00
|
|
|
For new users without "~/.xmonad/", Fedora's xmonad-start script
|
|
|
|
|
displays "man xmonad" and "less README.fedora" in xterms to provide help initially.
|
2011-05-12 09:53:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To stop this behaviour, just create "~/.xmonad/".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-26 01:46:02 +00:00
|
|
|
For an xmonad-gnome session for new users, xmonad-start will create
|
|
|
|
|
a basic "~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs" file configured for Gnome.

To make use of extensions and Desktop Environment support,
|
|
|
|
|
you need to install ghc-xmonad-contrib-devel.

|
|
|
|
== Configuration for Desktop Environments ==
|
2011-05-12 09:53:28 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
