-  See [[./window-managers.org::*Example of using][Interfacing with window managers]] for an example of how to use
-  the DBus interface from xmonad.
+** Example: using the DBus IPC interface with XMonad

+   Bind the key which should {,un}map xmobar to a dummy value. This is
+   necessary for {,un}grabKey in xmonad.
