4) What things are missing?
a) xmonad appears to support fewer keybindings than other window managers; however, I got around this by installing xbindkeys and using those keys-which-xmonad-does-not-support to spawn programs rather than control the window manager.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. What keybindings does xmonad not support?
It doesn't support "extra" keys such as XF86Back XF86Forward etc; these keys are recognised by recent versions of X11, and are recognised by other window managers such as Fvwm, but when I tried making keybindings for them in xmonad, it didn't work, and the documentation didn't include them in the list of supported keys. But as I said, there's a workaround, and I rather like the workaround, because I hadn't known about the existence of xbindkeys before.
