I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I installed dwm and have it spawn thru my .xsession file. However, if I include gnome-settings-daemon to launch, the ALT+P shortcut (to launch dmenu_run) stops working. The screen flashes when I ALT+P but nothing comes up. This occurs until I switch to another tty and back to the desktop (ie CTRL+ALT+F1, then CTRL+ALT+F7), after which point ALT+P continues working as expected.
Below are all my configurations files:
