    In addition, I'd need to check what exactly I am should be using for xmonad-extras, since I use a patched BinarySpacePartition, by Samuli Thomasson, that allows it to work just fine with Minimize (see email exchange in xmonad list: https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2021-May/015432.html). Maybe this patch is now in https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-extras, but I'd need to check.
