[xmonad] Configure eating of keys based on window class

[Jiří Maršíček]

Brandon,

thanks a lot for the explanation. I have tried to fiddle a little with the
xmodmap and came out with solution that helps (although not solved in
xmonad).

Executing following does precisely what I needed:  xmodmap -e "keysym
Super_L = Hyper_L" (while having Hyper_L defined as mod4).
