I've just upgraded to the latest xmonad in darcs, and it's great! However, one thing that used to work doesn't work anymore.

yes, a stupid assumption I made when using fromJust a bit too liberally.
I wonder: would it be feasible to sandbox layouts (and other 'user' code) somewhat, so that a bug like this would perhaps just cause Xmonad to switch to Full rather than blowing away the session? It would make experimenting a bit less troublesome.
Good point, can you please add a ticket for this. With pure layouts, this should really be prevented. And don't use fromJust, Andrea. Partial functions are evil, when people's data is at stake. -- Don
