New issue 461 by nome...@gmail.com: if another wm is already running,
please give a more descriptive error message
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=461
This request was filed by a user via the Debian bugtracking system
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599211):
Steps to reproduce:
1) Start some other wm
2) Run xmonad
Expected results:
2) xmonad informs the user that a wm is already running and exits
Actual results:
2) xmonad prints
/home/lindi/.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No
such file or directory)
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource
denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 8
and leaves the user completely puzzled. Please consider printing
something like
"xmonad: Another window manager already running, exiting..."
instead or in addition to the above error message.
