Daniel's solution has the potential for problems, because xmonad's main
loop isn't processing events while it's running.  (This is a common problem
with most of the contrib functions that process input; they really need to
do their input handling in the handleEventHook instead of opening a new
connection to the X server.  For those who keep track of such things, the
possible failure mode is the same as with the infamous putSelection.)
