[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#756646: Bug#756646: libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev: Cannot use xmonad with gnome

[Joachim Breitner]

Dear Kenn,


thanks for the report. With 3.12, gnome-session isn’t really usable
without gnome-shell (e.g. no way to quit the session).

I plan to remove the xmonad-GNOME session in the next xmonad upload. I
will also improve the xmonad session by providing support for
running .xmonad/xmonad-session-rc in the startup sequence.

Greetings,
Joachm
