[xmonad] Same stuff new day

[Platon Pronko]

Hi!

It could be because you never actually write to xmobar's stdin. You start the process and store the handle in `xproc` - but it is never used. You need to modify xmonad's logHook to log to xmobar's stdin - something like this:

, logHook = logHook myConfig <+>
             dynamicLogWithPP myXmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc }

In order to get it all to compile you'll probably need to also move xmobar startup from `myStartupHook` into `main` before actual xmonad startup
