Hey,

I'm running xmonad under gdm in Ubuntu Dapper.  All I had to do was 
create an extra file; the location varies by distribution, but mine had 
to go in /usr/share/xsessions:

~% cat /usr/share/xsessions/xmonad.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=xmonad
Comment=This session starts xmonad
Exec=/usr/local/bin/xmonad
Type=Application

Then, when logging in, you can select "xmonad" as a session in the 
"Options" menu in the lower-left hand corner of the login screen.
