[xmonad] Newbie question on xmonad startup capability

Is it possible to write a start-up script so that when xmonad runs it will create a preset bunch of windows, desktopo arrangements etc as well as open the nominated applications as thought= done by a ghostly hand? I don't expect the app state to be preserved, not unless I was using Squeak but it would be nice to have it start and open my faveourite apps in my favourite window spaces etc Thanks Sean -- _"When you argue with a fool, there are two fools arguing."_ - ANON.
