Package: xmonad Version: 0.8-1 Severity: wishlist It seems Gnome 2.24, which is upcoming in Debian Sid, will ignore settings related to WM in ~/.gnomerc. The way to configure an alternative window manager uses gconf and relies on a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications. Currently xmonad doesn't come with such a .desktop file, please consider adding one.
The file I've manually created on my system contains this (inspired by metacity.desktop): [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Xmonad Exec=xmonad NoDisplay=true X-GNOME-WMName=Xmonad X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=WindowManager X-GNOME-Provides=windowmanager X-GNOME-Autostart-Notify=true For more information see the thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/6557 /M -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-6.slh.2-sidux-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xmonad depends on: ii libc6 2.9-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgmp3c2 2:4.2.2+dfsg-3 Multiprecision arithmetic library ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii x11-utils 7.4+1 X11 utilities Versions of packages xmonad recommends: ii libghc6-xmonad-dev 0.8-1 A lightweight X11 window manager pn libghc6-xmonad-doc <none> (no description available) xmonad suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
