Here's another question.  I'm using KDE4.  One of the wiki pages
mentioned kde4Config, which doesn't seem to be in the released
xmonad.  It might be good to make sure that the wiki only contains
released features.

Meanwhile, what's the timeline on getting kde4Config support into
a release?  And would using kde4Config instead of kdeConfig make any
difference on this problem?
