[xmonad] Failing to start xmonad sometimes

[Eyal Erez]

Interesting.

I think I may have found the problem (maybe). I've recently switched to
Arch Linux and am using xmonad from the distro. Before, I was building
using stack and I think I may have had some old binaries laying around. I
removed them, and I think that solved the issue.
