I don't know what folks will think of this, but I'd rather have WorkspaceId be a String. Then we don't need to worry about associating Strings with workspaces, and everything's pretty.

I'll have to rewrite for the 3rd time my function to have mod-, and mod-. the ion way, but that's ok...;-)

These cycle through the workspaces? Shouldn't it work just the same? And perhaps you'd care to add it to XMonadContrib?

...

-workspaces = [0..8] +workspaces = map (:"") ['1'..'9']

I find this a bit scary for someone new to Haskell, considered it is in the Config file. Anyway I'd suggest (:[]), still very scary, but probably more helpful to my ideal newcomer who's getting started with Haskell.

Yeah, I wish this were prettier. We could also use workspaces = ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"] which would make it perfectly obvious to non-haskellers how to edit the workspace names. I think might actually be ideal. The whole point of this change would be to allow users to name workspaces like "email", "web", etc if they wish. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net

how about map show [1..9] , which actually kind of works for extension to numbers greater than 9? or add unnecessary parentheses if it seems clearer: map (show) [1..9] Isaac
