Re: replacing xfwm with xmonad

Maybe replace the xfwm call in the xinitrc script?

Edit: No wait, it says that starting xfwm is handled by xfce4-session, which is a binary.. Hmmm...
Maybe recompile it?

Re: replacing xfwm with xmonad

killall xfwm4 && xmonad &

should do the trick.

However, xmonad being a tiling window manager, it won't play fair with other
xfce components: It would tile the panels and the desktop window as well.

Better select xmonad from your login manager (gdm etc.).

hth,
