In 14.04, I've installed both gnome-session-flashback and xmonad.

  • When logging in using lightdm and the XMonad+Gnome session, the gnome-panel is broken, with half the indicators missing.

  • When logging in with a flashback session, and then running xmonad --replace, everything works as expected.

  • I've tried copying the RequiredComponents line from /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-flashback.session to xmonad.session (replacing metacity with xmonad) but it doesn't help.

I guess something is still missing with my xmonad.session. What?

Here's how I got xmonad+gnome-panel to work. Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 desktop 64-bit.

  1. Install xmonad:

    sudo apt-get install xmonad gnome-panel

  2. Create ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs with the following [1]: 

    import XMonad
import XMonad.Config.Gnome

main = do
    xmonad $ gnomeConfig

  3. Select session "GNOME with Xmonad" at lightdm

Hope this helps.

"GNOME with Xmonad"

I would install it again by typing in the terminal or from tty type:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm
   sudo apt-get install --reinstall xmonad-gnome-panel
   sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-unity-tweaks

   gsettings set org.settings.gnome-unity-tweake.source false=0

and that might make it function again.
