Tips for Xmonad in Ubuntu
Without a Desktop Environment
Here are tips on using xmonad in any of the Ubuntu distributions without loading XFCE or a full Gnome session.
Automounting removable media
Removable media is mounted using a volume manager. Normally, Nautilus takes care of this in Gnome and Thunar for XFCE.
There are several lightweight volume manager choices.
- skvm aims for simplicity and speed.
- Ivman was originally only for automounting, but now it can run arbitrary commands when a HAL event (closed laptop lid, a certain device is attached) is received.
- Thunar, XFCE's file manager, can be run as a daemon (thunar --daemon). It can be configured via its GUI to not open a file listing when a device is inserted.
Tray applications
Trayer has been removed from the repositories in Karmic but is still available in the Ubuntu archives: Trayer for Ubuntu Karmic.
There is also a PPA by user gspr which contains trayer.
