Thanks!

I emptied that out, installed cabal-install[1] and then went to my
xmonad and XMonadContrib source directories and ran cabal install. Now
I get a different error from XMonadContrib:

[ 89 of 212] Compiling XMonad.Util.Image ( XMonad/Util/Image.hs,
dist/build/XMonad/Util/Image.o )

XMonad/Util/Image.hs:24:39:
    Module `XMonad.Util.Font' does not export `fi'

Any suggestions here?

(After that failed I tried another darcs pull to see if there have
been more changes that would help me, but it just seems to stall
indefinitely at "Identifying repository
http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib format". Is there a problem with
the server?)

Thanks for answering my other questions. I feel a lot more confident
having some idea of what is happening where.
