The fix turned easy. I am attaching a tarball created with `cabal sdist`

The process: I couldn't find any darcs tags greater than 0.11 in the repository, so I downloaded the xmonad-contrib-0.11.4 tarball from haddock and changed it until compiled. Here is the darcs-whatsnew

hunk ./XMonad/Hooks/DebugEvents.hs 34
+import           Control.Applicative
hunk ./XMonad/Util/Invisible.hs 25
+import Control.Applicative
hunk ./xmonad-contrib.cabal 37
-tested-with:        GHC == 7.8.2, GHC==7.6.2, GHC==7.4.1, GHC==7.2.1, GHC==7.0.4
+tested-with:        GHC == 7.8.2, GHC==7.6.3, GHC==7.4.1, GHC==7.2.1, GHC==7.0.4

I didn't bump to 0.11.5, because I think we want to repair this report: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.11.4/reports/1. -- Cheers

Fwiw, xmonad-contrib 0.11.4 (hackage version) doesnt compile with ghc 7.6.3 (ubuntu version). I would like to work on a patch for a possible 0.11.5.. is this something we'd want?

I think it should either be fixed or get a constraint on "base" so that it won't try to build on versions before 7.10.1. Preferably the former.
