So I find myself playing around with XMonad source code.

Have you seen the "XMonad deconstructed" videos? They're very well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63MpfyZUcrU (part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivdyLaH3PhY (part 2)

I'd like the editor/IDE to tell me the type of a thing, or at least the module it is defined in.

Leksah and EclipseFP are two options you might want to consider. You can find links to them, and information about other options here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/IDE I myself make do with querying the types in GHCi or Hayoo. I also installed the command-line version of Hoogle (see http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hoogle), which is very useful.
