Hmm, unfortunately, looks like this needs to be re-opened.

Run either of these configs with latest darcs, or Config.Sjanssen, or
anything that spawnPipes and hPutStrLn's to a status bar. Then kill the bar
and hold down mod-j till xmonad freezes. Asgaroth worked out can find pipe
fd via lsof, so to clear it to restart xmonad can use something like:

ls /proc/`pgrep xmonad`/fd/`lsof | grep xmonad | \
  egrep '[ur] *FIFO' |  sed -n 's/.*\([0-9]\)[ur].*/\1/ p'`

and cat the appropriate pipe.


import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
{-
import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
import XMonad.Util.Run
import System.IO
main = do
   h <- spawnPipe "xmobar"
   xmonad $ defaultConfig
       { layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig
       , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn h }
       }
   -}      -- or equivalent plus kebinding--

main = xmonad =<< statusBar "xmobar" xmobarPP strutkey defaultConfig
   where strutkey (XConfig {modMask = modm}) = (modm, xK_b)
