I usually use xmonad as window manager. When playing around with GUI programming I sometimes just want to see how the windows would look under compiz for example.
So is it possible to run another window manager say compiz on a specific workspace under xmonad?
I just spent time playing around with xmonad and I really liked it.
I am considering doing a minimalistic Ubuntu installation with no desktop environment and just xmonad for the window manager.
Any thoughts on this? What's your experience (if any) with this? Or is installing a DE usually recommended?
I don't have a great deal of space on my screen, so I thought I'd save some by using icons instead of names for my workspaces.

Now; with a fresh installation of 12.10 ...
xmonad on the official website there is a phrase that strikes you and takes you to devour each page of the documentation or makes you close in a flash, the browser tab : “In a normal WM, you spend half your time aligning and searching for windows.” If you recognize yourself in this sentence xmonad is for you.

Xmonad.my story.so i'm only a couple days back in to using xmonad, and thanks to my previous experience with it, my xmonad.hs config file is already looking pretty robust and useful.i want to keep the default xmonad controls (nearly...
full thread title:use keyboard shortcuts from openbox's rc.xml with xmonad as your window manager.sry, probably just another of those mad ideas i have, but never get around to.i was thinking it'd be smart to either add my openbox controls for starting applications to my xmonad in some clever n careful simple way, or more reluctantly have to go through it all n add it manually even going
