= Packaging =
xmonad in Fedora is provided by 3 packages:
- xmonad-core: just the base window manager and X session files
- 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".
= Gnome Panel =
To activate the gnome-panel menu use Alt+Super+Button3 or Alt+Button3.
= xmonad-start =
For new users without "~/.xmonad/", Fedora's xmonad-start script
displays "man xmonad" in an xterm to provide help initially.
To stop this behaviour, just create "~/.xmonad/".
With the xmonad-gnome or xmonad packages installed, xmonad-start will create
a basic "~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs" file configured for desktops.
= Configuration references =
- xmonad man-page
- /usr/share/doc/xmonad-$version/xmonad.hs (default upstream configuration)

= Bluetile =
New users may find the Bluetile window manager built on top of
xmonad-contrib a gentler introduction to xmonad and tiling.
