Bug#897375: xmonad: should recommend dmenu and gmrun or at least suggest gmrun

[Tzafrir Cohen]

Package: xmonad
Version: 0.13-7
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I recently moved to a new system and copied my xmonad setup to it. But
it was broken. Among the things that broke were <mod>-p and <mod>-shift-p.

It took me a while to realise that I needed to install dmenu and gmrun.
dmenu (now suckless-tools) is in the Suggests field whereas gmrun is not
even there. Neither are mentioned in README.Debian.

Suggestion for README.Debian:

Several tools are used by the default configuration and need to be
installed in order to get the functionality:

* <mod>-p - application menu - package suckless-tools
* <mod>-shift-p - run a program - package gmrun

There are probably others I missed.
