How about this?
import Control.Monad
import System.Exit
import XMonad.Util.Run
promptExit = do
response <- runProcessWithInput "dmenu" ["-p", "Really quit?"] "yes\nno\n"
when (response == "yes") (io (exitWith ExitSuccess))
Then you can add a keybinding like ((modMask, xK_q), promptExit). You
might also look into XMonad.Prompt; somebody who's a bit more expert
in that module can probably suggest how to do the analogous thing.

Dear All,
Occasionally, I do something silly and by mistake type
modMask + shift + q
and xmonad, as it should, immediately exits. When done accidentally, this is a pain. So:
a) is there a way to get xmonad to ask for confirmation to exit?
b) alternatively, can I define four (of five) key combinations, so I need to do something really contrived to exit?
I've searched both answers without success, and my attempts at four-key combinations have not worked (even if I get xmonad --recompile to run).
Thanks,
