yes, a stupid assumption I made when using fromJust a bit too liberally.
I wonder: would it be feasible to sandbox layouts (and other 'user' code) somewhat, so that a bug like this would perhaps just cause Xmonad to switch to Full rather than blowing away the session? It would make experimenting a bit less troublesome.
Good point, can you please add a ticket for this. With pure layouts, this should really be prevented. And don't use fromJust, Andrea. Partial functions are evil, when people's data is at stake.
you learn step by step, error by error... when you are lucky enough to get to know the errors you did... this is why free software is such a great learning experience... done on others' data... andrea
