[xmonad] Focus issue with xmonad and xmobar

Hello, I'm using Andrea Rossatos xmobar which is great. So in my ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs I have: myDynLog h = DL.dynamicLogWithPP DL.xmobarPP {DL.ppOutput = SIO.hPutStrLn h} main = do xmobar <- R.spawnPipe "xmobar" xmonad $ defaults { logHook = myDynLog xmobar } However when I start xmonad and type a keybinding say mod-shift-return, nothing happens. When I type it again my terminal is started as expected. When I disable xmobar by: main = xmonad default Then typing a keybinding as immediate effect. It looks like a focus issue. I'm unsure where the problem is: xmonad or xmobar so I'm waiting to report a bug. regards, Bas
