[Xmonad] trouble with xmonad on OS X

Hello,
I've just installed xmonad on OS X, but I'm having trouble running it.
When I start X11 and type "xmonad" into the terminal this error is
returned:
xmonad: fatal error: request code=2, error code=10
Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
I'm running these software versions:
* OS X 10.4.10/ppc on a Powerbook G4
* Apple's X11.app (1.1.3 -- XFree86 4.4.0)
* ghc 6.6.1, installed from macports
* X11-extras 0.2, installed manually
* xmonad 0.2, installed manually
Could this be Xinerama-related? I have a second display attached to
my laptop, but I've tried running xmonad without the second display
attached and it fails with the same error message.
When I configured the X11-extras package, these warnings were
generated (although it build successfully):
checking X11/extensions/Xinerama.h usability... no
checking X11/extensions/Xinerama.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: check for missing
prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: section "Present

preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: in the future, the
compiler will take precedence
checking for X11/extensions/Xinerama.h... yes
If it helps, here is the console.log snippet generated when starting X11
console.log
=========
XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
[DRI] screen 0 installation complete
Screen 0 added: 2304x1024 @ (0,0)
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,
removing from list!
Any help is appreciated.
Best wishes,
