[xmonad] dmenu tab completion

[Tyler Smith]

Hello,

A few notes about the problem I described below. I referred to tab 
completion in xmobar - of course I should have said dmenu. The problem 
(dmenu lacking tab completion of any sort) persists, even after 
completely purging all xmonad and haskell packages from Debian and 
reinstalling. A similar problem is described here: 
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/dmenu-4175435436/

 From the forum post, the problem was resolved, but without any clear 
suggestions as to how or why. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to 
fix this?

Thanks,

Tyler
