    import XMonad.Prompt
    import XMonad.Prompt.Man

1. In your keybindings add something like:

        , ((modm, xK_F1), manPrompt def)

manPrompt :: XPConfig -> X ()

Query for manual page to be displayed.

XXX Merge into `Run`?

(Ask "gurus" whether `evaluate (length ...)` approach is better/more idiomatic.)
