To make use of extensions, including adding Desktop support,
you need to install ghc-xmonad-contrib-devel.
= EWMH Desktop support =
xmonad does not work well with desktop environment panels out of the box.
See:
- /usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/xmonad-contrib-$version/XMonad-Config-Desktop.html
- http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Basic_Desktop_Environment_Integration
for how to setup desktop support.
== GNOME ==
You can override xmonad as your GNOME default window manager with:
$ gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type string
= Bluetile =
New users may find the Bluetile window manager built
on top of xmonad-contrib a gentler introduction to xmonad
and tiling.
