Hey, Xfce 4.10 minus xfdesktop4 is what I use ....

Some inspiration from hhh! What is the proper way to keep xfdesktop from running at startup? Having it running appears to be what was messing up my Xmonad+Xfce4 DE. I killed it from the "Session and Statup" menu option and that seems to do the trick. Now the xfce4-panel and xmobar start up just fine - no more hacks in the autostart to get things up and running.

back on topic - Xmonad window manager, Xfce4, xmobar for system information:

>I killed it from the "Session and Statup" menu option

That's how I do it, under the "Session" tab. I don't use it because it seems to steal focus from newly opened windows once in a blue moon, I set the wallpaper in lightdm-gtk-greeter so I don't need it to do that, and I use xfce4-appfinder to open the apps I don't use frequently (keyboard shortcuts for often used apps).

If you're finding you miss having an applications menu, you can add it to xfce4-panel. If you want to hide the panel item, open its properties, use a 1px transparent png for the icon (click the mouse icon in the pref dialog and switch to "Select icon from: Image files"), uncheck "Show button title" and keybind the command xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu in xfce4-keyboard-settings. Or you can mouse over where you placed the panel item, it will highlight and you can click it.

@PackRat, you were starting Xmonad with an Autostart command? The way to do it is to edit /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml and replace the string...

<value type="string" value="xfwm4"/>

... with your WM. That will change it for all users, copy that file to ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ to do it per-user.

-edit- You'll probably have to clear saved sessions or xfwm4 might still start up.

Didn't work for me - unfortunately, because it would have been a lot easier this way. Still start xfwm

Still have to place "xmonad --replace" in the xfce autostart.

You're right, I didn't test it, and I see that the Arch Wiki and that Haskell wiki page both say to use an autostart with xmonad --replace. I didn't test that panel stuff either, sorry!

Some of these are seriously impressive.

Nili, how long did it take you in total?

I'm still fairly new to this so even the small changes take me some figuring out, it looks like it would take months to me!

Work in progress...

EDIT: Awesome WM with tint2:

It works surprisingly well but there's no way to display the chosen layout algorithm AFAICT.

And yes, the "Log Out" option triggers bl-exit

EDIT2: Hmmm...

empty@BunsenLab ~ % sudo ps-mem|grep bspwm
428.0 KiB +  87.0 KiB = 515.0 KiB       bspwm

I like this one best

Couple of weeks or months Dord, also depends on how much i /we practice tweaking OS.

I think I have a new favourite window manager

PackRat · 2015-11-08 04:15:02

^ that's nice.

I tried "bspwm --replace" in an xfce4 session; started up fine, but issues with the margins.

bspwm, conky piped to dzen2:

You may be better off just using bspwm and xfce4-panel without the rest of the xfce desktop environment; I had niggles trying to `--replace` in an xfce session but a standalone session launched from ~/.xinitrc (or ~/.xsession in Debian jessie) seems to work very well.

I got KDE up and running with a nice theme, plus my conky and a cool wallpaper.
