Yes, in my first attempts on Manjaro, I installed xmonad and xmobar directly using pacman. Realising that things were broken with that install, I followed your instructions, but didn't remove the packages previously installed. <br>I'm not sure what the correct process here should be: I can remove these packages from my system, but will that also mean I can still use xmonad as my session on lightdm? I'm not sure where lightdm looks to determine the available WMs on a system but maybe I should look into that.</p></div></div><span class="post-media"><ul

It looks like lightdm is not started from a shell, so that may not be the case. If I were you, I'd first try using this exact xmonad.desktop file as is, and if it can't find xmonad, then use the full path name to the xmonad binary.)</p></div></div><span class="post-media"><ul

So it must have something to do with lightdm. Maybe running xmonad from lightdm is like running it as root, and so running xmonad --recompile puts the xmonad binary into /usr/bin (root's binaries) instead of ~/.local/bin (user's binaries). If so, then if you run lightdm by executing ~/.local/bin/xmonad, then recompiling won't update your session (because lightdm is looking at ~/.local/bin/xmonad, not /usr/bin/xmonad, and it's the latter that is being rebuilt), whereas if you run lightdm by executing /usr/bin/xmonad (symlinked to ~/.local/bin/xmonad), then recompiling will update your session.</p><p>You could test this by deleting the /usr/bin/xmonad symlink, editing your lightdm to execute ~/.local/bin/xmonad, logging out and back in, and recompiling. If you see that /usr/bin/xmonad has been created, then xmonad is recompiling itself 'as root' instead of 'as user'.</p></div></div><span class="post-media"><ul
