[xmonad] Testing XMonad configurations

[wagnerdm at seas.upenn.edu]

Can't you just hit mod+q, or whatever key you've got bound to restart  
xmonad? You definitely should not need to stop your entire session.  
xmonad can restart itself, preserving all its state, faster than you  
can blink (...plus the time it takes to recompile xmonad.hs, of course).
