myStartupHook normally is for running actions that need access to the internal state of xmonad.
If you just want to launch programs, that's as easy as:
main = do spawn "xclock" ... ...
in your xmonad.hs
However, both the startupHook and Don’s suggestion above will relaunch every time you restart xmonad (eg. press Mod+Q). While this is not a problem for xsetroot, the best place to launch processes is in your .xsession or .xinitrc. It might be possible to check whether xmonad is resuming after a Mod+Q and only run programs if it isn’t, but I don’t know how.
