Comment #6 on issue 126 by vogt.adam: xmonad doesn't warn when xmonad  
executable cannot be found
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=126

In #xmonad today, jeffwheeler had some trouble getting his config to  
reload. It seems
like this problem could have been avoided by adding a bit of logic to the  
default config:

Currently M-q is bound to:

    spawn "xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart"

This could instead be something like:

    spawn $ "which xmonad && { xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart } || "  
++
            "xmessage xmonad not in \$PATH: \"$PATH\""

But maybe this logic should be implemented in haskell, or is the /bin/sh  
syntax used
here going to work everywhere?
