Allows runtime creation and modification of ManageHooks. Also allows one-shot
ManageHooks that are removed after the fire. Note that if several transient
hooks fire at once, only the most recently defined is executed, and all
are removed.
This is an experiment with replacing the WindowNavigation LayoutModifier with
one that simply adds keybindings and stores state in an IORef. Credit to
droundy for the original code -- hopefully I'm not butchering it. The end
intent is to add Xinerama support, but it'll be a little while before I get
there.
- printStringXMF: use the background color for XFT fonts too
- textWidthXMF now returns the text width even with xft fonts
- textExtentsXMF will now return only the ascend and the descent of a
string.
- stringPosition now takes the display too
- add support for UTF-8 locales: if the contrib library is compiled
with the 'with_xft' or the 'with_utf8' option the prompt and the
decoration system will support UTF-8 locales - this requires
utf8-strings.
Key binding and ManageHook to pop up a small, floating terminal window for a few quick commands.
Combined with a utility like detach[1], makes a great X application launcher.
Requires my two new ManageHooks (doRectFloat, specifically).

Improvements to DynamicLog include:
* Greatly expanded and improved documentation and examples
* remove seemingly useless makeSimpleDzenConfig function
* factor out xmobarPP
* add new ppExtras field to PP record, for specifying 'extra'
loggers which can supply information other than window title,
layout, and workspace status to a status bar (for example, time and date,
battery status, mail status, etc.)
The new XMonad.Util.Loggers module provides some example loggers that
can be used in the new ppExtras field of the PP record. Create your own,
add them to this module, go crazy! =)
