xmonad 0.8 with GNOME
I have discovered xmonad , a tiling window manager that works well with GNOME. The drawback to WMs like ion and awesome is that they don't play nice with the GNOME panel. However, xmonad works very well with it. I have added a few things to my configuration to make things work the way I like. For example, the deskbar applet window is made floating. Gimp windows are floating and assigned to workspace 5. The modifier key is the windows key. Here is my config after the screenshot. Just save it in $HOME/.xmonad as xmonad.hs. import XMonad import XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W import XMonad.Util.EZConfig myFocusFollowsMouse :: Bool myFocusFollowsMouse = False main = xmonad $ defaultConfig { focusFollowsMouse = myFocusFollowsMouse , manageHook = newManageHook <+> manageHook defaultConfig ,
