A few xmonad-versions ago 'nedit-nc -tabbed' suddenly stopped working.
Instead of opening the file as a new tab inside the running session, a new
window is opened. If no session is already running, I get _two_ windows, one
with the file I specified (on the command line) and one with a new file
('untitled'), which is quite annoying, especially in a tiling wm such as
xmonad.

I don't quite understand this claim... the most recent release was 0.10.0, and before that 0.9.2 which was close to a year older, and before that 0.9.1 which was close to *two years* earlier.

I will also note that xmonad cannot normally affect the communications channel between the nc client and server, which presumably is a root window property as is done by most X11-based programs. It can *read* the property, it could even remove it itself if someone wrote the code to do so, but even then there would be a race condition between it and the server and the server would often win the race.
