I applied that patch to xmonad 0.10, but unfortunately ghc does not like the
result:

XMonad/Main.hsc:355:40:
    Couldn't match expected type `KeyCode' with actual type `Char'
    In the second argument of `keycodeToKeysym', namely `code'
    In the second argument of `($)', namely
      `keycodeToKeysym dpy code 0'
    In a stmt of a 'do' block: io $ keycodeToKeysym dpy code 0

My haskell-fu happens to be a bit bit low today (e.g. I have absolutely *no
clue* on how to fix this), is there a simple fix to help me out here?
