[Haskell-cafe] How to make a dock window for xmonad using gtk2hs?

[Magicloud Magiclouds]

Since I am using gtk, I set Gdk::Window::TYPE_HINT_DOCK as its
document says. But it does not work.
And as I looked into xmobar's source, there seems no special code for
xmonad. And my xmonad.hs is very simple, too.
So I wonder how to make it work....
