-== Configuring xmonad ==
-
-xmonad is configured by creating and editing the file:
-
-    ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
-
-xmonad then uses settings from this file as arguments to the window
-manager, on startup. It is also possible to use alternative paths for
-your configuration file; for that, consult
-
-    man xmonad
-
-For a complete example of possible settings see the file:
-
-    man/xmonad.hs
-
-Further examples are on the website, wiki and extension documentation.
-
-    http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad
-
-== A simple example ==
-
-Here is a basic example, which overrides the default border width,
-default terminal, and some colours. This text goes in the file
-$HOME/.xmonad/xmonad.hs :
-
-    import XMonad
-
-    main = xmonad $ def
-        { borderWidth        = 2
-        , terminal           = "urxvt"
-        , normalBorderColor  = "#cccccc"
-        , focusedBorderColor = "#cd8b00" }
-
-You can find the defaults in the file:
-
-    XMonad/Config.hs
-
-== Checking your xmonad.hs is correct ==
-
-Place this text in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs, and then check that it is
-syntactically and type correct by loading it in the Haskell
-interpreter:
-
-    $ ghci ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
-    GHCi, version 6.8.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
-    Loading package base ... linking ... done.
-    Ok, modules loaded: Main.
-
-    Prelude Main> :t main
-    main :: IO ()
-
-Ok, looks good.
-
-== Loading your configuration ==
-
-To have xmonad start using your settings, type 'mod-q'.  xmonad will
-then load this new file, and run it.  If it is unable to, the defaults
-are used.
-
-To load successfully, both 'xmonad' and 'ghc' must be in your $PATH
-environment variable.  If GHC isn't in your path, for some reason, you
-can compile the xmonad.hs file yourself:
-
-    $ cd ~/.xmonad
-    $ ghc --make xmonad.hs
-    $ ls
-    xmonad    xmonad.hi xmonad.hs xmonad.o
-
-When you hit mod-q, this newly compiled xmonad will be used.
-
-== Where are the defaults? ==
-
-The default configuration values are defined in the source file:
-
-    XMonad/Config.hs
-
-the XConfig data structure itself is defined in:
-
-    XMonad/Core.hs
-
-== Extensions ==
-
-Since the xmonad.hs file is just another Haskell module, you may import
-and use any Haskell code or libraries you wish. For example, you can use
-things from the xmonad-contrib library, or other code you write
-yourself.
