Please point out any documentation that contradicts "~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs".
Cheers, Spencer Janssen
My distribution uses version 0.6 of xmonad. It's 'man' page says:
"CUSTOMIZATION xmonad is customized by creating a custom Config.hs and (re)compiling the source code. After recompiling, ’restart’ is used to fork the new version, with changes reflected immediately."
Which distribution do you use? This is probably maintainer's mistake. Point that to him, and remind about 0.7 is out for several months ;)
But the point is that distributions sometimes do have to change some code. Configuration examples in documentation are not supposed to "just work".
Then they can distribute modified (but correct) documentation and examples as well. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC)
