Grr.. Sorry, I should have read more carefully. To avoid recompiling, run `xmonad --restart' from a terminal instead. I believe aavogt's config on the wiki archive has a snippet to only recompile when it's really needed.
It's very puzzling though that your windows and workspaces change on a mod-q even with xmonad.hs unchanged.
I see this as well, and have for a while; I had thought it was related to some of my experimental modules, but it continued when I removed most of my ManageHook and went to a relatively vanilla setup (but still using FadeInactive); when I removed FadeInactive as well, it went away. I'm inclined to agree with the assertion that it's related to using xcompmgr, which has a number of odd bugs. (I also see slow compilation in that particular setup, but that has less to do with xmonad than with it running in an EC2 micro instance, which really doesn't have enough memory to run ghc properly....) -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
