New issue 532 by maar... at de-vri.es: _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION support
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=532

The _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION atom is part of the EWMH specification  
and can be used to indicate that something happened in a window. It's  
apparently a somewhat weaker hint than the urgency flag of WM_HINTS,  
because EWMH say that windows expecting immediate attention should still  
use WM_HINTS.

Either way, the current UrgencyHook doesn't respect  
_NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION. This impacts amongst others all Qt  
applications, since Qt only uses ..._DEMANDS_ATTENTION and never WM_HINTS.

I patched UrgencyHook to also respect _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION. I'm  
not much of a Haskell expert though, so I suggest someone takes a good look  
at it and point out what I did wrong.
