Comment #5 on issue 343 by SpencerJanssen: XMonad.Prompt.RunOrRaise doesnt  
always detect an already running program
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=343

raiseBrowser won't help here, it makes the same mistake of assuming that the
application's command-line name is the same as WM_CLASS.

An alternative is to replace the hard-coded isApp with an argument to
runOrRaisePrompt, allowing the user to extend the set of workarounds.  I say
"workaround" because what RunOrRaise attempts to do is not possible in  
general, as
there is no standard way to match command lines with X windows.
