FWIW I've found mplayer to behave pretty badly under xmonad. Sometimes when I've used it the display doesn't come up at all, other times it comes up fine. I'm not sure if this is the fault of xmonad or mplayer (mplayer is one of the least stable Linux applications I know of). Mike Lukas Mai wrote:

- it is possible to switch from one desktop to one other using Mod+[1..9]. Is it possible to configure Xmonad to switch to the next, previous desktop using Mod+Sift+(lsft/right) ?
Yes. My Config.hs contains this (in the definition of keys):
((modMask .|. controlMask, xK_Left), withWindowSet $ view . pred . W.tag . W.workspace . W.current), ((modMask .|. controlMask, xK_Right), withWindowSet $ view . succ . W.tag . W.workspace . W.current)
(Replace controlMask by shiftMask.)
- running mplayer in fullscreen (hit the f key in mplayer) does not fill the screen but the window. Some workarround exist (such as using Xmonad full screen or using the FindEmptyWorkspace module), but using the functionnality from mplayer would be greater.
I don't have a real solution for this. I use XMonadContrib.SwitchTrans with mod+f bound to toggle fullscreen mode, which works good enough in practice.
