ah yeah that sounds like a good idea. might have been a
missunderstanding on my side that I didnt come to think of just
using ask to retrieve the window.
I'm now trying to use the following manageHook
checkDock --> do
               win <- ask
               WindowDump windows <- XS.get :: X WindowDump
               XS.put $ WindowDump (win:windows)
               doHideIgnore
XS.get and XS.put live in the X monad, while manage hooks live in
the Query monad. The solution is to lift the calls, thus:
checkDock --> do
                win <- ask
                WindowDump windows <- liftX XS.get :: Query WindowDump
                liftX $ XS.put $ WindowDump (win:windows)
                doHideIgnore
ah nice. That seems to work. Now on to the next issue.
Floating the docks seems to kinda work. However it has lots of
ugly side effects, such as being able to move the windows around etc. 

When I call doIgnore on the window and later try to call reveal
on it, it does stay in the background... same for doHideIgnore
and reveal.

Is there a function I can call on a window to get on top of other
windows?

Regards,
Jan
