Issue 80: xmonad 0.4 won't install with X11-1.3.0 and X11-extras-0.4 
without modifying xmonad.cabal
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=80

New issue report by hitesh.jasani:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install X11-1.3.0
2. Install X11-extras-0.4
3. While installing xmonad-0.4, 'runghc Setup.lhs configure', it works fine
4. 'runghc Setup.lhs build' fails

What was the expected output?  What did you see instead?

Expected a successful build, instead got an error (below).

% runghc Setup.lhs build
Preprocessing executables for xmonad-0.4...
Building xmonad-0.4...

XMonad.hs:38:7:
    Could not find module `Graphics.X11.Xlib.Extras':
      it was found in multiple packages: X11-extras-0.4 X11-1.3.0



What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

xmonad-0.4 on OSX 10.4

Please provide any additional information below.

As a workaround, I unregistered X11-extras-0.4, updated xmonad.cabal to not
have a dependency on it, reran configure and then it built successfully.
X11-1.3.0 appears to have bundled the extras so it seems like the separate
dependency may no longer be needed.

With this workaround, I successfully installed xmonad and it appears to be
working fine.


If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue
with 'Component-Contrib' below.
