copied!<p>I have a vague feeling that when you first launch xmonad, it uses one executable+configuration, and then when you recompile, it finds the "right" one. In xmonad.desktop, try changing the <code>Exec=</code> line to include a full path to your xmonad.start.</p> <pre><code>Exec=/full/path/to/xmonad.start </code></pre> <p>Or you might try changing the last line in xmonad.start to include the full path to your xmonad executable.</p> <pre><code>dbus-launch --exit-with-session /full/path/to/xmonad </code></pre> <p>Another thing to try is changing the last two lines to:</p> <pre><code>exec xmonad #dbus-launch --exit-with-session xmonad </code></pre> <p>If any of these options change the behaviour you're seeing, that might give us a clue. </p> <hr> <p>EDIT: Let's try a different way of launching it, to see if we can learn anything. Don't start any window manager, log into a plain terminal instead. Type the command <code>xinit -- xmonad</code> or <code>xinit -- /full/path/to/xmonad</code>.</p> <p>Alternatively, create the file <code>.xinitrc</code> with one line in it:</p> <pre><code>xmonad </code></pre> <p>Then type the command <code>startx</code>.</p> <p>I also found this on the Xmonad FAQ, which may help:</p> <blockquote> <p>2.6 not found errors or changes to xmonad.hs won't take effect</p> <p>Ensure that ghc, and the xmonad executable are both in the environment PATH from which you start X. Alternatively symlink them to locations already in the PATH. ghc-pkg list should show ghc, xmonad, X11, etc. without brackets, e.g. {xmonad} is bad. ghc-pkg check will tell you if you have inconsistent dependencies or other registration problems.</p> <p>The mod-q action calls the xmonad binary to recompile itself, so if your display manager is starting it with /path/to/xmonad you'll also have to edit your xmonad.hs mod-q binding to use the full path and restart X (or in newer versions use 'xmonad --restart') to restart xmonad with the new mod-q full path binding.</p> </blockquote>
