[xmonad] shiftmask stopped working

[Jim Burton]

Thanks guys. xev has this to say:

Left:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
    root 0x93, subw 0x1c00002, time 4449250, (29,43), root:(670,61),
    state 0x10, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Right:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
    root 0x93, subw 0x1c00002, time 4385976, (46,42), root:(687,60),
    state 0x10, keycode 62 (keysym 0xffe2, Shift_R), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Any idea why xmonad isn't reacting to bindings which include shiftMask?

Thanks,

Jim
