Config.CustomXXX seems more intuitive... I would look in Config/ directory for such kind of functionality.
Moreover, I wonder, why gather personal configs in code base? Is not wiki-based Config Archive good enough?
It's my idea. It serves a couple functions. It provides a crude (automatically tested, plut really tested in real life) documentation as to how to use various bits of config. This latter feature isn't an ideal form of documentation, but at least it is guaranteed to always be in sync with whatever version of xmonad-contrib you've got. Some of us (mostly me) don't have time to write good documentation (actually, I don't have time to write as much xmonad code as I do), so this provides the hints needed for someone else to use. And hopefully some of these configs will actually be useful to users who want the same or a similar config. By attaching personal names to the configs, we give the named person the freedom to make the configuration useful at least to himself or herself, which means that every config there is useful for at least one person, which is more than we can say for the default configuration. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
