Describe the bug
The VR dashboard does not work when using the XMonad window manager. The buttons on the controllers don't open the overlay and the IPD display also does not show up. When starting a game, the title screen does not show up in the loading screen. I switched my DM to Gnome and then everything worked fine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start SteamVR
  2. Press the menu button on one of the controllers
  3. Nothing happens

Expected behavior
I expect the dashboard to work under XMonad

I've managed to get it working by enabling EWMH support in XMonad (see https://xmonad.github.io/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Hooks-EwmhDesktops.html)
