Right you can override the gnome/fallback session with gsettings on
"org.gnome.desktop.session session-name" after creating a xmonad.session file.

The one in Fedora looks like this:
-=-
[GNOME Session]
Name=Bluetile session
RequiredComponents=gnome-panel;gnome-settings-daemon;
RequiredProviders=windowmanager;notifications;
DefaultProvider-windowmanager=bluetile
DefaultProvider-notifications=notification-daemon
-=-

At the distro level at least I think using an xsession .desktop
is the correct way to do this (see my previous mail).
