Hi,

This is a n00b question, so if there's a more appropriate place to ask it,
please let me know.

I installed Xmonad yesterday and am thrilled with the speed, simplicity, and
how much control it gives me. I really want to try out GridSelect for
switching between windows, but it's in a hidden package (which installed
using cabal). I'm new to Haskell as well as to XMonad, so I'm having a
little trouble figuring out how to deal with this. If I do...

    ghc ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

...then I get:

    Failed to load interface for `XMonad.Actions.GridSelect':
      it is a member of the hidden package
`xmonad-contrib-bluetilebranch-0.8.1.2'
      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

And if I do...

    ghc -package xmonad-contrib-bluetilebranch-0.8.1.2 ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

...then I get:

    Failed to load interface for `XMonad.Util.EZConfig':
      it was found in multiple packages:
      xmonad-contrib-bluetilebranch-0.8.1.2 xmonad-contrib-0.8.1

Is there a way tell it to take GridSelect from the bluetilebranch package,
but everything else from the regular package? Thank you in advance.

Amy
