Issue 184: Recompile in background http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=184 New issue report by YitzGale: If recompiling xmonad.hs takes time during a reload, xmonad enters a suspended state. There is no immediate feedback from the mod-Q keypress. This may also be causing serious race conditions, as discussed in the following thread: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2008-April/005545.html Therefore, I suggest that xmonad should recompile xmonad.hs in the background, while staying active, and only actually reload after the compilation is complete. In addition, there should be immediate feedback to indicate that a recompile/reload is in progress, in addition to the "flashing red border" when the reload is complete.
