Is there a way to specify a prefix key instead of just a set of
modifiers?
This is how I can use emacs (alt-x etc.)/screen (ctrl-a)/ion3
(alt-k)/ratpoison in vncviewer (ctrl-t)
all together in the same session...
Use the 'submap' contrib module.
Alternatively, if your memory is too small to remember bindings at
all, the 'commands' contrib module achieves a similar goal.

Took me a while to figure out how enable the 'commands' contrib
module. The instructions say to add the following lines to Config.hs-boot :

import XMonad (X)
workspaces  :: Int
commands    :: [(String, X ())]

But I get the following error when building:
parse error on input `import'

I got it working by removing the import line and moving the
declaration of commands to Config.hs:

commands :: [(String, X ())]
commands = defaultCommands

Seems to work fine, but is this the right thing to do?

Thanks,
Avi.
