Xmonad Configuration Help [Solved]

Question

I have xmonad 0.10 and kde 4.8.
Here's the error:
xmonad.hs:9:8:
Couldn't match expected type `XConfig a0' with actual type `IO ()'
In the return type of a call of `xmonad'
In the first argument of `additionalKeys', namely
`xmonad
(kde4Config
{borderWidth = 0, layoutHook = myLayout,
manageHook = manageHook kde4Config, terminal = "urxvt",
focusFollowsMouse = False, modMask = mod4Mask})'
In the expression:
xmonad
(kde4Config
{borderWidth = 0, layoutHook = myLayout,
manageHook = manageHook kde4Config, terminal = "urxvt",
focusFollowsMouse = False, modMask = mod4Mask})
`additionalKeys`
myKeys
Here's my xmonad.hs
import XMonad
import Data.Monoid
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W
import qualified Data.Map as M
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig
import XMonad.Config.Kde
main = xmonad kde4Config
{ borderWidth = 0
, layoutHook = myLayout
, manageHook = manageHook kde4Config
, terminal = "urxvt"
, focusFollowsMouse = False
, modMask = mod4Mask
`additionalKeys` myKeys
myKeys = [ ((mod4Mask, xK_j ), windows W.focusDown)
, ((mod4Mask, xK_k ), windows W.focusUp)
, ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_j ), windows W.swapDown)
, ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_k ), windows W.swapUp)
, ((mod4Mask, xK_c ), kill)
, ((mod4Mask, xK_h ), sendMessage Shrink)
, ((mod4Mask, xK_l ), sendMessage Expand)
, ((mod4Mask, xK_space ), sendMessage NextLayout)
, ((mod4Mask, xK_r ), refresh)
-- Layouts
myLayout = tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| Full
where
tiled = Tall nmaster delta ratio
-- Default # of windows in master pane
nmaster = 1
-- Default width of master
ratio = 1/2
-- How much to increment size by
delta = 5/100

Answer 1

You are applying additionalKeys to (xmonad kde4config {...}), you should only apply it to the (kde4config {...}) part. Simplest fix: add a dollar sign ($) between 'xmonad' and 'kde4config'.
@pyro539: second part is okay, but that requires $ to have lower precedence (which it does).
