[xmonad] bringing xmonad into the threaded world

There have been various times when I've wished I could just spawn a   
thread in xmonad. Just recently, for example, it was pointed out to me  
  that the default mod+q binding starts a brand new process just to  
keep  xmonad responsive while it recompiles the configuration file.  
This is  silly.

Here is a patch bundle that makes xmonad ask X to be thread-safe, and   
rewrites the default mod+q binding to take advantage of the new thread  
  safety.
