[xmonad] Failing to start xmonad sometimes

[Brandon Allbery]

Something is repeatedly restarting xmonad. The first one fails with

xmonad: X11 error: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter), request code=18, error
code=5

The last two fail with

X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource
denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Serial number of failed request:  7
  Current serial number in output stream:  8

which indicates that the X server thinks another window manager (possibly
another xmonad instance) is already running.
