 It is also possible to send multiple signals at once:

+### Example for 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.
+
+    ((0, xK_Alt_L   ), return ())
+
+Also, install `avoidStruts` layout modifier from `XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks`
+
+Finally, install these two event hooks (`handleEventHook` in `XConfig`)
+`myDocksEventHook` is a replacement for `docksEventHook` which reacts on unmap
+events as well (which `docksEventHook` doesn't).
