The warnings were related to ghc-7.6 removing Prelude.catch
(triggering warnings regarding the import hiding it), as well
as defaulting of some numeric types.
The base that comes with ghc-7.6.1 no longer includes Prelude.catch;
so these modules were changed so that there is no warning for
import Prelude hiding (catch)
At the same time these changes should be compatible with older GHCs,
since the catch being has never been the one in the Prelude.
I recently found that I use xpad to add sticky notes to my desktop. I wanted
to be able to show/hide these in the same fashion as regular scratchpads. This
patch adds a function that allows to do this while reusing most of the existing
NamedScratchpad code.
Now that spawn assumes executeFile takes a String containing utf8 codepoints
(and takes an actual String as input) adjust Prompt.Shell to avoid double
encoding. U.Run functions are updated to be consistent with spawn.
* true error: more modules export foldl/foldl'/foldr, so explicitly use the Data.Foldable one
* -Werror error: transition from Control.OldException to Control.Exception, assuming everything was IOException

> I have run into programs that fail when run by safeSpawn but succeed with spawn.

dylan did not supply a patch and his version doesn't match the declared type signature;
since I don't want to break every `safeSpawn` user, I tossed a `>> return ()` in to make
the type right, although I'm troubled at removing the exception functions.
As the CPP pass was the only feature being used in Font.hsc (no other FFI)
it's better to avoid hsc2hs, if only to make the purpose of the module
clearer from the filename.
* Added a XMonad.Util.Image module to manipulate simple images
and show them into an X drawable
* Added the possibility of using image buttons instead of plain
text buttons into the title bar
* Added a XMonad.Layout.ImageButtonDecoration as an example of
how to use the image buttons
