After the comment on issue 177 earlier today, I tried the patch, too,
and it seems to work for me (xmonad-darcs, jdk 1.6.0_11). Maybe you'll
have luck with it, too: it's the "failed fix attempt" at comment #2
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177

What does the patch brake, why isn't it applied to the repo?

Cheers,
