Bug in X11 and/or xmonad? was: [xmonad] xmonad on solaris, input issue

[Stephan Schulz]

Hi!

I wanted to reply earlier but I still can't figure out under which circumstances it seems to work (I
got it once to work with ghc-6.8.3 but the next compile failed again..). I will get back to you when
I got a working setup, thanks so far :)

best regards,
Stephan
