thanks for your report. I don’t think this is technically a problem with xmonad; xmonad is just not responsible for drawing the background. > The desktop is also not redrawn when I switch to an empty workspace.

But there are many more, such as running a proper desktop program in the background (e.g. natuilus) or simply running something like $ xsetroot -solid black as part of your session. I have local modifications to the xmonad package to support a .xmonad/xmonad-session-rc session script where these things can easily go. I guess I should upload these soon.
