[xmonad] Can not restart Xmonad

[kedals0 at gmail.com]

That was my problem.
Thanks.

Maybe it could be a good idea to warn user about this.
Because this behavior is a little bit strange:
If you see what is the running program with ps command, it's not the
program that you have to launch.

Bye,
Dal.
