I just use Nautilus (the default Ubuntu/GNOME file browser) and it works fine with xmonad. Are you having a specific problems browsing files? Actually, it would be better to post this on Ubuntu Forums or on an xmonad list: http://xmonad.org/community.html http://xmonad.org/community.html

Thanks. I tried Nautilus, but then my (Ubuntu) desktop shows up, but all other windows are gone and cannot be recovered with the typical keystrokes. Launching a new terminal doesn't work either. Further, if I double click a folder on the desktop nothing happens. Not that I plan to do much mouse-based file browsing under xmonad, but it would be nice to have it handy. Finally, yeah there are other forums, but HN just rocks!
