[xmonad] don't manage windows layout

[Alain Bertrand]

Thanks.

I got the following error and though the message is really detailed, my 
total ignorance of Haskel doesn't allow me to fix it.

Best regards

Alain

     * Ambiguous type variable `a0` arising from a use of `avoidStruts`

       Probable fix: use a type annotation to specify what `a0` should be.

         instance [safe] Show Arc -- Defined in `Graphics.X11.Xlib.Types`
         ...plus 54 others
         ...plus 73 instances involving out-of-scope types
         (use -fprint-potential-instances to see them all)
     * In the expression:
         avoidStruts
           (Full ||| spiral (6 / 7) ||| Tall 1 0.03 0.5 ||| simplestFloat)
       In an equation for `myLayoutHook`:
           myLayoutHook
             = avoidStruts
                 (Full ||| spiral (6 / 7) ||| Tall 1 0.03 0.5 |||

26 |  myLayoutHook = avoidStruts  ( Full ||| spiral (6/7)  ||| Tall 1 
0.03 0.5 ||| simplestFloat)
