Data.Monoid has both.

Thanks! My xmonad.hs file now compiles without error, so YAY!

Did it work then?

Well, yes and no. It works if xmonad is already running, ie. I open a terminal and enter xmodmap -e "clear mod2". The numlock key is now disabled, so clicking it, even frantically, does nothing and my mod key is still fully functional. It doesn't work if I add "clear mod2" to my .Xmodmap file though and neither does it work if I call xmodmap -e "clear mod2" from .xinitrc. xmonad starts up, the numlock key is disabled but my xmonad mod key doesn't work.

So a couple of steps forward, and then one back.

In that case, does it work if you add spawn "xmodmap -e \"clear mod2\"" to your startupHook? -Brent
