XMonad + XFCE

After 5 years or so, I have switched from Arch Linux to Xubuntu. Whether or not this change is permanent remains to be seen. I do miss pacman quite a bit.

Currently running XMonad as my window manager. I’m using xmonad-log-applet to send info (xmonad layout, focused window title, etc) to xfce4-panel.

Here’s a relatively bare-bones xmonad.hs that makes XMonad in XFCE4 a little more comfortable. Actually the most important part here is replace; without it, I was running into all kinds of funky issues with xfce4-panel.

	import XMonad
	import XMonad.Config.Xfce
	import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops
	import XMonad.Util.Replace(replace)
	main = do
	replace
	xmonad $ ewmh xfceConfig
	{ terminal = "xfce4-terminal –hide-menubar"
	, manageHook = myManageHook <+> manageHook xfceConfig
	}
	myManageHook = composeAll [ className =? "Xfce4-notifyd" –> doIgnore ]
