it seems that mod-l and mod-h don't seem to resize the "currently focussed window" as specified in Config.hs, but rather the "first" window in the window layout?

I think the documentation in Config.hs is a bit wrong about that. mod-h and mod-l don't resize the currently focused window but de- and increment the tileFraction which is the width or height (depending on the layoutType Tall or Wide) of the largest window not necessarily the focused window.

Hmm, I see. I'd be useful to get a bit more control over the window layout than just that. One thing that might be nice if the tiles can be split at arbitrary points. One possibility is for example so say that if I start a new application, the tile of the currently active window will be split into two, one for the old window and one for the new. If you can then vary the ratios of all these splits, you get a very fine control over your window layout. Edsko
