modWorkspace already was capable of modifying the layout with an arbitrary
layout -> layout function, but its original type restricted it such that it
could only apply a single LayoutModifier; this was often inconvenient, as for
example it was not possible simply to compose LayoutModifiers for use with
modWorkspace.
This patch also reimplements onWorkspaces in terms of modWorkspaces, since with
the latter's less restrictive type this is now possible.
On a keyboard-less device (such as a smartphone), where one has to use
an on-screen keyboard, the maximum completion window height must be
limited to avoid overlapping the keyboard.
This moves the function to help clean up the `Spawner' to the ManageHook
rather than in functions like spawnOn. Probably it makes no difference, the
reason is because there's one manageSpawn function but many different so this
way there are less functions to write.

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.
For whatever reason, some patches applied were missing these signatures.
While haddock has been able to include inferred signatures for a while,
including type signatures makes it easier to see if and when types have
been changed.
XMonad core re-exports Control.Monad.State, which includes
a function "state" if you happen to use mtl-2. Since there's
a chance xmonad still works with mtl-1 avoid imports like:
import XMonad hiding (state)
Add ewmhDesktopsEventHookCustom, a generalized version of ewmhDesktopsEventHook that takes a sort function as argument. This sort function should be the same used by the LogHook.
