[xmonad] Same stuff new day

[Michael Needham]

Thank you Platon.  I think that might be exactly what I was missing.  I will make the addition you suggest and I have already moved the xproc line to main.

Thanks Again to all and for your kind help and advice.  Now wish me luck learning Haskell and I may better understand the “why” of all this.

Have a great weekend!

Regards,
Michael Needham
