[xmonad] xmonad on gnome: permanently busy cursor?

[Ralph Hofmann]

I use Ubuntu 9.10 too, with xmonad 9.1 from debian sid. My gnome panel works perfectly, but I don't use the log applet.

In your xmonad.hs there is a section about integrating the log applet with this comment:

-- This retry is really awkward, but sometimes DBus won't let us get our
-- name unless we retry a couple times. ...

Maybe that's the reason for the business.

You could try top or htop, to find out what's going on.
