Yes, I think xmonad  is a good example of the standard Haskell approach to
server/long running/interactive software in the language. 

A skin of code runs in either:

        newtype M = M (StateT State 
                          IO) a
or 
        newtype M = M (ReaderT Config 
                          (StateT State 
                                IO)) a

            deriving (Functor, Monad, MonadState)

Is the basic environment these interactive programs run in.
