[SOLVED] Xmonad Opens Multiple Tiles on System Start

I am on xmonad version 0.13 and Arch 4.17. When I reboot my system, or start up my system, Xmonad has multiple tiles open as pictured below.

Here is my Xmonad configuration: https://pastebin.com/wt6Ba1i5

Thanks for the help!

SOLUTION: Uninstall my DM (LXDM)

Installed Arch just fine by following the Wiki.
Installed Xmonad just fine with the help of my boyfriend.

How are you executing Xmonad? Are you using a display manager or xinit?

Re: [SOLVED] Xmonad Opens Multiple Tiles on System Start

I am running a display manager, LXDM, but in the configuration I do not have it set to autostart any DE or WM.
I do have Xmonad in my xinitrc.

I switched from XFCE, and was told to put "xmonad --replace" in my XFCE4-Settings-Manager application autostart to ensure that Xmonad starts on boot.

EDIT: Seems like it was LXDM causing this issue. I've uninstalled LXDM and the issue is gone. I am thinking of either just dropping a DM completely, or trying a different one. Marking as solved.
