*sigh* I always forget mangling it back to the type ManageHook expects...

and may require extra parentheses depending on how you mix it into an existing ManageHook.
I'm afraid that gives exactly the same error. An earlier post of yours to this mailing list (http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2011-June/011495.html) has
manageUtility :: ManageHook manageUtility = ask >>= \win -> liftX (withDisplay $ \dpy -> io $ raiseWindow dpy win) >> doFloat
The doFloat on the end is necessary to get the type-error to go away. Presumably idHook would be better there, making the entry appName =? "xmobar" --> (ask >>= \win -> liftX (withDisplay $ \dpy -> io $ raiseWindow dpy win) >> idHook) If the .xmobarrc has lowerOnStart set to True, the above doesn't help. (Nor does the version with doFloat.) So, in my situation it looks as if it has to be lowerOnStart = False in the .xmobarrc. Michael
