Hey all,

Nice totally fresh checkouts of all 3,

xmonad, Spencer Janssen <sjanssen at cse.unl.edu>**20070630021026]
X11-extras, Spencer Janssen <sjanssen at cse.unl.edu>**20070620211004]
XMonadContrib, l.mai at web.de**20070629171038

X11-extras builds fine, but I'm getting this build error for xmonad,

% sudo runhaskell Setup.lhs build
Preprocessing executables for xmonad-0.2...
Building xmonad-0.2...
[ 2 of 13] Compiling XMonad           ( XMonad.hs,
dist/build/xmonad/xmonad-tmp/XMonad.o )

XMonad.hs:62:5:
    No instance for (Read Rectangle)
      arising from the 'deriving' clause of a data type declaration
      at XMonad.hs:62:5
    Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Read Rectangle)
    When deriving the instance for `Read ScreenDetail'
