[xmonad] alt q causes crash

I'm a non-programmer type who has gotten xmonad working great by cut and pasting from the wiki -- with one caveat -- when I hit alt q, not only does nothing happen, but I lose all keyboard shortcuts. I looked through the documentation, and I get the impression I have to change the key settings in some way that is beyond my limited abilities. Any help greatly appreciated.
I load from .xinitrc and had to set the path in this file to load xmonad from my ~/.cabal/bin directory. I have a feeling this has something to do with the problem.
Here is my xmonad.hs file
---------------------- snip --------------------------
import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe)
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig(additionalKeys)
import System.IO
main = do
xmproc <- spawnPipe "/home/daniel/.cabal/bin/xmobar /home/daniel/.xmobarrc"
xmonad $ defaultConfig
{ manageHook = manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig
, layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig
, logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP
{ ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc
, ppTitle = xmobarColor "green" "" . shorten 50
}
, modMask = mod4Mask -- Rebind Mod to the Windows key
, workspaces = ["term","emacs","web","fm","mutt","music","wp","misc","misc2"]
, borderWidth = 2
} `additionalKeys`
[ ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_z), spawn "xscreensaver-command -lock")
, ((controlMask, xK_Print), spawn "sleep 0.2; scrot -s")
, ((0, xK_Print), spawn "scrot")
]
