= Packaging = xmonad in Fedora is provided by 3 packages: - xmonad-core: just the base window manager and X session files - xmonad: additionally installs the devel library files needed to configure and customize xmonad - xmonad-gnome: additionally includes a gnome session file and requires gnome-session and gnome-terminal = Starting from GDM = xmonad can be started from GDM by selecting "xmonad" in the session menu. For GNOME support please install xmonad-gnome and select "xmonad GNOME" in GDM's session menu, which will run "gnome-session --session=xmonad". = Gnome Panel = To activate the gnome-panel menu use Alt+Super+Button3 or Alt+Button3. = xmonad-start = For new users without "~/.xmonad/", Fedora's xmonad-start script displays "man xmonad" in an xterm to provide help initially. To stop this behaviour, just create "~/.xmonad/". With the xmonad-gnome or xmonad packages installed, xmonad-start will create a basic "~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs" file configured for desktops. = Configuration references = - xmonad man-page - /usr/share/doc/xmonad-$version/xmonad.hs (default upstream configuration) - /usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/xmonad-contrib-$version/index.html and online: - XMonad wiki: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad - http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/xmonad-contrib/latest/doc/html/XMonad-Doc.html (detailed configuration information and examples) - http://xmonad.org/ website = Bluetile = New users may find the Bluetile window manager built on top of xmonad-contrib a gentler introduction to xmonad and tiling.
