I'd be interested in knowing what programs you've had trouble with? In Awesome, you can switch your layout to a floating-based one (oddly default without some rc tweaking) and get around most issues these programs face. Or just switch it to a full screen-based layout :) Anywho, figured some examples might give others' a heads up before devoting hours and mind share to trying it out.

Ah, the ability to switch is a good thing. I had issues with Pidgin, for one.

Java (at least swing) apps behave oddly, by which I mean they show up as grey boxes. According to the xmonad faq, the problem is that Java uses a hardcoded list of wm's (rather than properly responding to wm events) which does not contain xmonad. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#Problems_with_Java_applications.2C_Applet_java_console http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_q... Even with the suggested fix, Java still has some focus issues.
