Something of the type IO [String] is a computation which does some IO
(reading files, launching nukes, etc.) and then returns a list of
strings. Something of the type [String] is merely a list of strings.
It is impossible (I'm lying here, but for a good cause) to "convert"
something on the form "IO a" to just "a".
Try something like this:
main = do
fileContent <- readFile "/path/to/file"
xmonad $ defaultConfig {
...
workspaces = lines fileContent,
...
} ...
