Please point out any documentation that contradicts "~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs".

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."
I do know that this is not the case in the current darcs version. I don't know whether we made a mistake in 0.6, or if your distro incorrectly modified the manpage.
But the point is that distributions sometimes do have to change some code. Configuration examples in documentation are not supposed to "just work". An automatic configuration, however, is. For instance, installing xmonad-config package would require xmonad-contrib, so that any generated configuration would find required modules.
Best, Maurício
Why shouldn't configuration examples in documentation "just work"? Any distro package that isn't compatible with example configs is broken. Cheers, Spencer Janssen
