Looks like is should be using 'peek' instead of the partial function, 'focus'. I presume David will take care of this soon.
Any chance we can avoid exporting partial functions from StackSet? It's not much use in terms of robustness to quickcheck that StackSet behaves properly and then export functions that will kill xmonad if used improperly.
Note we don't have a clear API yet -- yet we allow very deep customisation -- there's a tension there.
Also nice would be the ability to catch exceptions in the X monad (as discussed before). It seems that xlib crashes when I try to find the width of a string. I'd enjoy not having to log in again when this happens.
In general, stability seems to be the weakest point of xmonad at the moment--contrary to the advertizing.
The core is pretty tough, but contrib modules can do anything -- now that we allow them to be in X. David, wasn't that your idea? ;) -- Don
