Sorry for that, withWSG was not exported.  I have just pushed a patch
adding a new function

  addRawWSGroup

which is defined in the same way as the addWSGroup' I suggested
above.  I have tested it and it seems to work.  So now you can call it
from your startup hook like so:

  myStartupHook = do
    addRawWSGroup "g1" [(S 0, "1"), (S 1, "2"), (S 2, "3")]
    ... etc.

To use it you will have to obtain the latest darcs version of
xmonad-contrib, like so:

  darcs get http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib
  cd XMonadContrib
  cabal install

The darcs version is quite stable so you should have no problems
upgrading to it.
