xmonad --recompile without xmessage errors

Question

When I make changes to xmonad.hs, I almost always make syntax errors at first try (I guess haskell syntax is too cryptic for me, but Xmonad is too good a tool to give up). When I xmonad --recompile in a terminal, these errors are listed in my terminal, which is useful. But they also are listed in a crappy, annoying xmessage window which pops up, how can I avoid this?

Edit: I haven't seen the problem for some time now on my distribution, I guess developers caught the redundancy.

Answer 1

Sadly this is hardcoded into the XMonad recompile function at this time.

• xmessage call in XMonad/Core.hs
