Hello Tony,

This module should help you more directly:

http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Actions-SpawnOn.html

Possibly modified to include features in here:
http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib/XMonad/Util/SpawnOnce.hs

Note that SpawnOn is simplified (incompatibly different) if you built
xmonad from darcs, since you don't have to pass that 'Spawner' IORef
around in that case.
