  * make spawn redirect std* to /dev/null
spawn'd programs inherit their std{in,out,err} from xmonad. This can
  interfere with logHook logging because some programs dump debugging
  output to stdout or stderr. This patch therefore redirects all
  standard streams to /dev/null when a new program is started.
The consensus seems to be that we should fix logHook rather than changing
spawn.
