[xmonad] xmonad user survey!

[Sam Danielson]

Thanks to all who contribute. Xmonad is my currently WM of choice.

>     * What things annoy you?

Start a program on one workspace and have it pop up later on another
due to startup delay. This happens in every WM I have used.

>     * What things do you like?

Community, organized plugin package, layout plugins, Xinerama, small
code size. Floating handling is good. It is my favorite WM at the
moment.

>     * What things are missing?

Optional mouse warts on tabbed layout and floating windows to avoid
reaching for keyboard to close windows. Programs like gimp and web
browsing could benefit from this.

compiz - negative plugin to invert colors

Complexity of the layout / movement of focus. I prefer swapping layout
algorithms to tweaking a layout.
