Actually, this is not quite sufficient (good catch by Stefan). Here is
what will work:
- darcs pull X11-extras, clean, build, install X11-extras
- 'runhaskell Setup clean', build, install X11-xmonad
- restart into the newly built executable
- view each of your workspaces at least once
- darcs pull xmonad
- clean, build, install xmonad
- restart
Or you can just be safe and totally restart X the next time you upgrade.
Cheers,
Spencer Janssen
