For some reason dmenu_run is configured by many Xmonad users
instead of the shellPrompt, which is superior in several ways. I mean,
everybody should give it a try as they're nicer to use and more flexible to
configure. There are more prompts available than only shellPrompt.

To replace dmenu_run import XMonad.Prompt.Shell and
run shellPrompt with your custom config based on defaultXPConfig.
