Synopsis
data EwmhDesktopsHook

Usage

You can use this module with the following in your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs: 

 import XMonad
 import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops

 myLogHook :: X ()
 myLogHook = ewmhDesktopsLogHook

 myLayoutHook = ewmhDesktopsLayout $ avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig

 main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayouts, logHook = myLogHook }

avoidStruts is used to automatically leave space for dock programs, and can be found in XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks.

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:

XMonad.Doc.Extending#The_log_hook_and_external_status_bars
