Hi Tobias,
Again thank you for your help with this. Which lines exactly did you remove? I just removed these three lines:
forM_ (W.current s : W.visible s) $ \x -> forM_ (W.integrate' (W.stack (W.workspace x))) $ \win -> do setWindowDesktop win curr
Did you change/remove any more code (eg, the block immediately below)?
thanks!
~l

Hey Lara,
I tried it here, works great. Make sure XMonad is recompiled after making your
modifications. This should be forced if you `touch ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs` and
restart xmonad afterwards. After successfully recompiling XMonad you should
have the following files in ~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Hooks:
EwmhDesktops.hi
EwmhDesktops.hs
EwmhDesktops.o
Besides, I do not think, that 0.9 will work better for this window/desktop
stuff, the function from the EwmhDesktops has not changed since that:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/xmonad-contrib/0.9/doc/html/src/XMonad-Hooks-EwmhDesktops.html#ewmhDesktopsLogHookCustom
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/xmonad-contrib/0.10/doc/html/src/XMonad-Hooks-EwmhDesktops.html#ewmhDesktopsLogHookCustom

This pretty much breaks any hope of getting that information precisely when it is most useful (ie, when one is using a multi-head setup and is likely to do even greater use of all the different workspaces).
