-- $usage
-- WindowPrompt brings windows to you and you to windows.
-- That is to say, it pops up a dmenu with window names, in case you forgot
-- where you left your XChat.
--
-- Place in your Config.hs:
--
-- > import XMonadContrib.XPrompt
-- > import XMonadContrib.WindowPrompt
--
-- and in the keys definition:
--
-- > , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_g     ), windowPromptGoto  defaultXPConfig)
-- > , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_g     ), windowPromptBring defaultXPConfig)
