Editing Xmonad/Using xmonad in XFCE (section)

==== Backing up your settings ====

If you're already using Xfce, you may wish to first backup your ~/.config directory.  Whilst Xfce isn't the only application/library/etc. to utilise the ~/.config directory to store it's settings, it does so in a few different sub-directories (i.e. in some cases specific applications have their own settings directory), it's easier to backup the whole thing.

Note that as far as I know, it isn't possible to have for the same user both a standard Xfce login and an XMonad Xfce login.  Whilst you can have different sessions to determine whether you use XMonad or not, there are some settings - such as the panel layout - that aren't saved on a per-session basis.
