[Xmonad] Re: Emailing: A taste of Haskell.pdf

[Donald Bruce Stewart]

Hey xmonad community,

Simon PJ is running xmonad in xnest, for the upcoming OSCON Haskell
tutorial, and we've noticed xnest seems to crop the edge of the screen -
or misreport its size:

Anyone seen this, running xmonad in xnest, or know how to fix it?
