Hi all, I'm very happy to announce my first hackageDB package: xfconf[0], a Haskell binding to the XFCE xfconfd configuration dæmon. It's mainly a pet project I have done to learn Haskell using the FFI and QuickCheck but if someone can find it useful or instructive I would be happy. This package allows easy access to your favorite XFCE desktop settings (wallpaper, colors, police, etc.) and easier synchronisations between the configuration backend and your own Gtk+2 widget properties (a feature missing in gconf but now part of gsettings). A practical use of this binding can be found in hThemes[1], a quick&dirty front-end to switch between pre-defined desktop themes (eg. switching from a light-white theme for daytime to a dark-black one for your nightly hack sessions).

Any comments on this first work are welcomed ,-) regards, /John
