[xmonad] IM layout configuration for Psi

[Ismael Carnales]

Try this in xmonad.hs (if you're using 0.8 if not update now! ;) ):

gridIM (1%7) (ClassName "psi")

That would give you a Grid layout modified so 1%7 of the space is used
by the roster window, you can apply the IM modifier to other layouts
using:

withIM (1%7) (ClassName "psi") Layout

(replace Layout with your desired layout to modify)

In both cases you can use (Title "title_of_the_roster_window") instead
of ClassName.

You can reach the IM layout documentation at:
