Yes I'm sure it's in the path. When it's not in the path the error is
different (I tried removing xmonad from my PATH). In my case, xmonad is
started in the few seconds after gdm login (I can use all my xmonad key
bindings during that time), after that period gnome give a popup window says
login failed, then I can do nothing except logout.

Thanks,
Jan
