DetailsDescription:
I just had a xmonad update, and after a reboot xmonad would no longer start. Running `xmonad --recompile` in a separate VT allowed me to start xmonad again. I think the problem is the local xmonad binary couldn't find the libraries it was compiled with anymore, and therefore wouldn't run without a recompile. I propose an install script to be added to inform the user that they might need to run `xmonad --recompile`. |

install scripts are not meant for documentation, therefor i don't think thats the place to document this behavior. You can freely extend the arch wiki, thats the source of truth when it comes to documentation

I fully agree with anthraxx, this should be common knowledge for XMonad users :)
