Hi,

First, let me congratulate all the xmonad* team for such a cool window manager.

Second, this is my problem. I'd like to use several of the XmonadContrib modules but it fails at compiling with this message:

Building xmonad-0.2... [ 3 of 14] Compiling XMonadContrib.LayoutHelpers ( XMonadContrib/LayoutHelpers.hs, dist/build/xmonad/xmonad-tmp/XMonadContrib/LayoutHelpers.o )

XMonadContrib/LayoutHelpers.hs:25:25: Module `StackSet' does not export `integrate'

I am not a Haskell developper at all (my toy is lisp and only lisp) so I can't fix that by myself. Do you have a clue for me ?

Ah , this is a good point you raise. The contrib repository will only work with the darcs version of xmonad. You'll need to install the darcs version of X11-extras and xmonad, to use it. In future, we'll tag and release stable versoins of the contrib module, along with each release of xmonad itself.

Extra bonus question: do you think I can make my own window manager by following your principles (QuickCheck and such). I am currently collaborating to a Common Lisp project but we did not take time to "think" about this and I fear our project is hard to maintain as is.

I think you certainly could :-) We've written a fair bit about how you'd go about doing this, so dive in. :-) -- Don
