Thanks. I got the following error and though the message is really detailed, my total ignorance of Haskel doesn't allow me to fix it. Best regards Alain ------------------- Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/alain/.xmonad/xmonad.hs xmonad.hs:26:17: error: * Ambiguous type variable `a0` arising from a use of `avoidStruts` prevents the constraint `(Show a0)` from being solved.

You might want XMonad.Layout.SimplestFloat.
