[Bug 378111] [NEW] Xmonad refuses to start automatically on 9.04

[mbana]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xmonad

I can't seem to start xmonad automatically on the 9.04 Jaunty.

Before I upgraded (from Intrepid), I used the following commands to make
xmonad by default windows managers.

   $ gconftool -t string -s /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current xmonad
   $ gconftool -t string -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad
   $ killall metacity; xmonad &

These commands made my settings persistent, that is, it would load
automatically even after rebooting.  Unfortunately after updating xmonad
doesn't start automatically any more, and I'm forced to open up a
terminal and do

  $ xmonad &

which is highly frustrating.  I've followed this
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome#Ubuntu_Intrepid,
I've also asked on the #xmonad on freenode, but the only suggestions I
got were to clean ~/.gconf, which I obviously don't want to do, and
contact the packager.

At the moment I'm very tempted to just reformat and install intrepid,
since I'm also being constantly bugged about corrupt index from this
tracker app.

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards
