| 2023-07-21 20:11:45 | <billy93> | geekosaur how would I do that? i just select xmonad in the login screen from the list of WMs |
| 2023-07-21 20:15:57 | <geekosaur[c]> | That would depend on how your system is set up but there is probably a `/usr/share/x sessions/xmonad.desktop` file or similar and the `Exec=` line needs to run `dbus-launch xmonad` |
| 2023-07-21 20:16:36 | <geekosaur[c]> | Uh, without a space, I'm on my phone |
| 2023-07-21 20:25:04 | <billy93> | i guess i could also just have xmonad execute dbus-launch eh |
| 2023-07-21 20:25:08 | <billy93> | maybe that would work too |
| 2023-07-21 20:27:32 | <geekosaur> | not really, xmonad and things launched from it then won't know how to connect to dbus |
| 2023-07-21 20:28:42 | <geekosaur> | so you use dbus-launch to run xmonad or use a ~/.xsession which runs `eval dbus-launch --exit-with-session --sh-syntax` |
| 2023-07-21 20:29:13 | <geekosaur> | but then you need to figure out how to make your OS run .xsession instead of something from /usr/share/xsessions |
| 2023-07-21 20:33:00 | <billy93> | er |
| 2023-07-21 20:36:12 | <geekosaur> | yes, sadly this isn't trivial |
| 2023-07-21 20:36:47 | <geekosaur> | and we don't provide OS integrations, just xmonad itself, so I don't know how to hook it into your OS with dbus support |
| 2023-07-21 21:09:42 | <billy93> | what is xsession? |
| 2023-07-21 21:10:32 | <geekosaur> | the old (pre-XDG) way of defining an X session was to put commands in ~/.xsession which are run when the X server starts |
| 2023-07-21 21:12:07 | <billy93> | i wish there was a way to automatically launch certain applications on startup and assign them to various workspaces, with some window size tweaks |
| 2023-07-21 21:15:46 | <geekosaur> | there used to be, you could use -g with old-style X11 apps. new ones don't support it and don't provide a way to do it directly |
| 2023-07-21 21:16:31 | <geekosaur> | you can however use `spawn` in a `startupHook` and then match it in `manageHook` and use `doShift` |

| 2023-07-22 08:06:37 | <geekosaur> | some display managers autostart it, some distros autostart it with X |
| 2023-07-22 08:06:47 | <geekosaur> | others you have to do it manually |
| 2023-07-22 08:08:51 | <geekosaur> | and I think they were looking for a more Windows-like answer, but yeh, that's not what you get with xmonad |
| 2023-07-22 08:09:45 | <geekosaur> | you could get it with something like the xmonad under MATE setup I have, but that gets you a Windows-like REGEDIT setup too :) (dconf-editor to configure xmonad as the wm) |
