Hi Frank, 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 Another option is to add a type signature yourself that fixes the `a0' to be Window. Putting that annotation at top level is going to be very nasty since the type is going to be as big as the actual definition. Instead you could apply to your layouts a function that will restrict the type: (id :: x Window -> x Window) -- Adam
