All your type errors involve some type variables like `a0' above that
eventually become Window when the definition is used in your config.
You could try adding {-# LANGUAGE NoMonomorphismRestriction #-} to the
top of lib/XMonad/Config/FT/Layouts.hs. I think that will stop ghc
from trying to fix a given `a0' when compiling your Layouts.hs
This fixed it. Thanks a lot! :-)
