Here is mine, also using the list monad together with the state monad
(uses StateT [] and not ListT State, so the state is restored during
backtracking and not permanent).

import Monad;import MonadState;main=mapM_(\s->mapM_ putStrLn$[]:[take
 8$replicate i '.'++'Q':repeat '.'|i<-s])$evalStateT(mapM(\i->msum[do
 (/)<-get;guard$i/j;put(\x y->y/=j&&x+y/=i+j&&x-y/=i-j&&x/y);return j
 |j<-a])a)(\_ _->True);a=[0..7]
