Thanks! My xmonad.hs file now compiles without error, so YAY!

Did it work then?

Well, yes and no. It works if xmonad is already running, ie. I open a
terminal and enter xmodmap -e "clear mod2". The numlock key is now
disabled, so clicking it, even frantically, does nothing and my mod key is
still fully functional. It doesn't work if I add "clear mod2" to my
.Xmodmap file though and neither does it work if I call xmodmap -e "clear
mod2" from .xinitrc. xmonad starts up, the numlock key is disabled but my
xmonad mod key doesn't work.

So a couple of steps forward, and then one back.

Can something be done to Adam's original proposed solution, so it'll also
handle me clearing mod2 from either .Xmodmap or .xinitrc before xmonad is
started?

OK, good to know. Thanks.
