I am probably doing something wrong, but I get no results at all. And I can't see
anything in that code that resembles what I want to do (though my knowledge is very
limited). I think that the keybindings sequence I posted on my other mail was clear
enough, so I guess that I am doing wrong. I include that line on my config this way:

  myStartupHook = windows (W.view "1" . W.view "8" . W.view "2")
  [...]
  main = xmonad defaults

  defaults = defaultConfig {
        [...]
	, startupHook = myStartupHook
  }

But I still get the same behavior. When xmonad starts up, workspace 1 goes to
screen 1, and workspace 2 goes to monitor 2. I have no clue about what that line
actually does. It's hard to come by a decent document that explains something useful
about this little details. I have no idea where those W.view, W.shift, and similar
things come from. I think I have to dive a bit more in the xmonad docs and try to
absorb a bit more.

Thanks for pointing me to startupHook. :)
