Indeed, restart has changed type from
Maybe String -> Bool -> X ()
to
String -> Bool -> X ()
So the template on xmonad.org is outdated; I'll fix it on the xmonad
wiki this evening.
Anyway, the xmonad-lib subpackage contains a *working* xmonad.hs
in ${LOCALBASE}/share/doc/xmonad-0.6 -- maybe I should add a note
to DESCR-lib, or even a MESSAGE-lib?
