I guess the new field should be set in defaultXPConfig. Whoever pushes this patch can certainly do that.

I thought my patch already does that, giving Nothing by default, so it shouldn't break any existing configs. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercerpav@gmail.com

I'm not a user of Prompt myself; is adding a field going to break existing configs? (Do most people start from defaultXPConfig or one of the other pre-defined configs, or do some people build the record from scratch manually?)

Using my copy of the config archive (last updated a year ago or something, I should probably rerun the script), I don't think there are any direct users of the record. Grepping ' XPConfig {' and `grep 'XPConfig' *|grep -v 'default'` don't seem to turn up anything. This came up recently with a patch that I pushed, didn't it? I seem to recall running these searches sometime in the past few months, anyway. (Of course there could be uncontributed configs which do it. If so, they can pretty much go pound salt. We've been clear in the past that we use the config archive (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Config_archive) for making API and other coding decisions like this.) -- gwern http://www.gwern.net
