Mon Jan 18 11:22:56 EST 2010 Adam Vogt * Rename numlockMask to numberlockMask to help users of the template config.

Since configs will be broken with regard to numlockMask anyway, wouldn't it be more prudent to rename it to filterModifiersMask or something along that line, since users of e.g. Ukranian keyboard layouts had to add more modifier bits to numlockMask to get various things like Prompt to work properly. So something like filterModifiersMask would resemble its usage more closely.

The field moving from XConfig to XState is still supposed to contain a numlockMask... or at least it does once (setNumlockMask :: X ()) is run when xmonad starts up. Users could still modify that field once xmonad is running. However, the actual name of the field doesn't matter to me, so long as it isn't numlockMask (since that leads to very confusing error messages by ghc for users who will try an old template config).... so send an amended patch if this is important to you? -- Adam
