- 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! =)
XMonad.Prompt.Input is a new module which provides a framework for
prompting the user for input and passing it along to some other action,
useful for building actions which require user input.
XMonad.Prompt.Email is a simple example of the use of XMonad.Prompt.Input,
which prompts the user for a recipient, subject, and body, and sends
a one-line email.
I also made a small refactoring to XMonad.Prompt in order to support
XMonad.Prompt.Input.
XMonad.Prompt.AppendFile is a new module which provides a prompt for
appending a single line of text to a file. I use it for quickly
writing down ideas/todos/etc. to a special file when I can't be
bothered to stop what I'm doing to write things down properly.
