-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Layout.IM
-- > import Data.Ratio ((%))
--
-- Then edit your @layoutHook@ by adding the IM layout:
--
-- > myLayouts = IM (1%7) (ClassName "Tkabber") ||| Full ||| etc..
-- > main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayouts }
--
-- Here @1%7@ is the part of the screen which your roster will occupy,
-- @ClassName \"Tkabber\"@ tells xmonad which window is actually your roster.
--
-- Screenshot: <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Image:Xmonad-layout-im.png>
--
-- For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
--
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_the_layout_hook"

-- $hints
--
-- To launch IM layout automatically on your IM workspace use "XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace".

-- $todo
-- All these items are questionable. Please let me know if you find them useful.
--
-- * shrink\/expand
--
-- * allow roster placement on the right side or even on top\/bottom
--
-- * use arbitrary layout instead of grid
