Hi, I have installed xmonad on my Ubuntu 10.04 (or is it 10.10?) because it rocks. However I'd like to know how I can autorun some commands upon login that's just for my user and just for the xmonad session - so they don't get run when I log into GNOME 2.x and so on...

This should do the trick

Thanks for the tip. I've bookmarked it for later.

I believe there's a chapter on Haskell in the 7 Languages in 7 Weeks (http://www.amazon.com/Seven-Languages-Weeks-Programming-Programmers/dp/193435659X) book I'm reading (currently reading about Ruby and Io) so xmonad configuration might seem clearer when I get to that chapter. Hopefully!
