[xmonad] xmonad 0.9 on ubuntu 9.10

[Tony Morris]

Hello, I am trying to get xmonad running on ubuntu 9.10 per
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome#Ubuntu_Karmic

I have set the WINDOW_MANAGER in ~/.gnomerc but when gnome starts I get
a background screen, no gnome panel/menu and no ability to use xmonad
keys (e.g. CTRL-mod-enter does not start a terminal).

I have tried other methods mentioned on the link above and encountered
no to poor success.

Any hints?
