`~/.xinitrc` as directed in the xmonad guided tour, you should be good
to go! If not, just smack an `exec xmonad` at the bottom of that file.
In particular, it might be a good idea to set a wallpaper beforehand.
Otherwise, when switching workspaces or closing windows, you might start
seeing "shadows" of windows that were there before, unable to interact
with them.
## Installing Xmobar

First, configure xscreensaver how you like it with the

`~/.xinitrc` (we could also do most of this in xmonad's `startupHook`,
but `~/.xinitrc` is perhaps more standard). If you want to use xmonad

Of course substitute the wallpaper for one of your own. If you like the

### Using the `startupHook`
Instead of the `.xinitrc` file, one can also use XMonad's built in
`startupHook` in order to auto start programs. The
[XMonad.Util.SpawnOnce] library is perfect for this use case, allowing
programs to start only once, and not with every invocation of `M-q`!
This requires but a small change in `myConfig`:
``` haskell
-- import XMonad.Util.SpawnOnce (spawnOnce)
myConfig = def
{ modMask = mod4Mask -- Rebind Mod to the Super key
, layoutHook = myLayout -- Use custom layouts
, startupHook = myStartupHook
}

myStartupHook = do
spawnOnce "trayer --edge top --align right --SetDockType true \
