Because you're using do/return, the type of dbruhnConfig is Monad m => m
(XConfig l), so you'd need to say scratchpadSpawnAction =<<
dbruhnConfig. Alternatively, get rid of the do/return as it's
extraneous.

What you're actually supposed to pass to scratchpadSpawnAction is the
XConfig that is the parameter to mykeys. Change that to mykeys
conf@(XConfig...
