Changing Modifier to be a CUInt works as well, and should require fewer
code changes. It also passes a cursory sanity check of where else Modifier
is used. That is, I checked what else used Modifier, and what the
appropriate type was on the C side. In all the cases I checked it was
unsigned integer. 

This would also have the advantage of not requiring any changes to
X11-Extras and only a one line change to xmonad.

What do you think?
