I just installed xmonad 0.8 from source on a fresh ubuntu install (8.0.4.1) on my laptop (acer aspireone). I used the stock config file given on the xmonad gnome instructions.
The problem is that when the desktop environment loads, the notification area takes forever to load (2-3 minutes), but everything else is still quick. The only three things in it are the battery monitor, checkgmail, and the network manager. It's really a pain to have to wait so long to connect to the wireless network.
One thing I've noticed is that I open something else that uses the tray (skype, for example) before the other things load, it goes there right away.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Ian
