-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your
-- @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Hooks.ServerMode
--
-- Then edit your @layoutHook@ by adding the 'eventHook':
--
-- > layoutHook = eventHook ServerMode $ avoidStruts $ simpleTabbed ||| Full ||| etc..
--
-- and then:
--
-- > main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayouts }
--
-- For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
--
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_the_layout_hook"
