Hello XMonad world!

I wrote new LayoutModifier. It places one (master) window at center of screen, on top of other windows. All other windows are managed by base layout. For example, with

centerMaster Grid

one will get something like http://iportnov.ru/files/center-master.png.

topRight layout modifier is similar, but places master window in top right corner instead of center.

centerMaster layout modifier places master window at top of other, at center of screen. Other windows are managed by base layout. topRightMaster is similar, but places master window at top right corner.

I had:

Everytime I invoked or hid Scratchpad, it would leave a 'Maybe.fromJust: Nothing' line in .xsession-errors, and updatePointer would stop working.
