Have you seen the "XMonad deconstructed" videos? They're very well done.

Leksah and EclipseFP are two options you might want to consider. You can
find links to them, and information about other options here:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/IDE

I myself make do with querying the types in GHCi or Hayoo. I also installed
the command-line version of Hoogle (see
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hoogle), which is very useful.
