The module Set has undergone major changes - look at the code and admire, if 
you have it. Formerly sets were implemented as 'FiniteMap's, now as 
size-balanced trees. Formerly there was a function called 'mapSet', now 
there's 'map'. To solve your problem, use import controls, for example

import Data.Set hiding (map)
import qualified Data.Set as Set

will do fine.
BTW, module FiniteMap is deprecated (I don't know why).

Cheers,
