Arch Linux

@tonyskn,
Just updated with the 2014-10-22 package and worked perfectly. :-)

@lancew,
I just updated this package to depend on xmonad and xmonad-contrib from the standard repos, and created a haskell-xmonad-gnome3 in AUR which pull the haskell-related dependencies from ArchHaskell.
Sorry about this :-)

I wonder if it is worth having a xmonad-gnome3 aur that uses xmonad and xmonad-contrib and a haskell-cmonad-gnome3 aur (in ArchHaskell Repo?) that uses haskell-xmonad and haskell-xmonad-contrib?

Hi All,

I'm using a bunch of Haskell packages from the ArchHaskell repository [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchHaskell], and unless I install xmonad and xmonad-contrib from there, I run into version conflicts.

A quick fix is to adding ArchHaskell to the list your Pacman repos. On the bright side, you'd be getting more frequent updates of xmonad{,-contrib}.

I was able to manually download the tarball, edit the dependencies and update/install using xmonad and xmonad-contrib.

When running updates I now get:

Dependency `haskell-xmonad' of `xmonad-gnome3' does not exist.

Searching aur.archlinux.org I don't see this package, I am guessing that the package has changed name to xmonad (and xmonad-contrib).

Is there any reason this uses xlogin? I'd rather just use my display manager. Additionally, what does the xinitrc do exactly? It looks like it blindly executes a bunch of files.

I just pushed a new version which fixes Polkit permission issues on Gnome 3.12

I don't think the bug is fixed.
The "Exec="-line still specifies "start-xmonad".

Hi All,

The xsessions file got fixed. I uploaded a new version.
Sorry for the delay :-)

There's a bug in /usr/share/xsessions/xmonad-gnome-session.desktop. In the "Exec="-line, the specified program is "start-xmonad" (which doesn't exist). It should be "xmonad-gnome-session" instead.

Sadly this stopped working with gnome 3.10. Does anybody know why? Someone mentioned the start-xmonad script. I think I still have this though

Seems to be broken. The start-xmonad script was removed, but the .desktop file still references it.

I finally managed to get XMonad to work along gnome-settings-daemon-3.8.

There does not seem to be an obvious way to start a working GNOME 3.8 session with XMonad as window manager.
The current version of this package drops gnome-session altogether and reverts into starting essential GNOME daemons / tools explicitly.

gnome-terminal-3.8 has also been dropped in favor of xfce4-terminal due to many problems in the former.

Is anybody able to get xmonad working with GNOME 3.8?
