Oh well, thank you for the reply :) I am trying to do some networking stuff in the X Monad. Do you think there is some workaround such that I do the networking in an additional thread and then when it is done I fire some X11 event that XMonad can be programed to handle and then it can read the data recovered from the network and display it?

That would be the ClientMessage I mentioned. You would have your thread openDisplay for itself, do whatever, and then use sendMessage to send a ClientMessage event to the main thread; you then use handleEventHook to catch that event.
