Does this seem right? Does it make sense to fetch this file from gentoo.org and then modify it? or should we rather just generate it ourselves?

I can start up an xmonad session without propagating these inputs. Do they need to be available for xmonad's 'mod-q' (i.e. restarting xmonad/loading a new config)? `~Eric
