    $ ghc-pkg list | grep mtl
        mtl-1.1.0.2
        mtl-2.0.1.0

Incidentally,

    $ ghc-pkg list mtl
    /var/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d
       mtl-1.1.0.2
    /home/michaeln/.ghc/i386-linux-6.12.1/package.conf.d
       mtl-2.0.1.0

I guess this is bad.  Presumably mixing the two worlds is causing me pain.  I'm happy to dump the apt stuff if that's the right way forward.

It's from the Ubuntu apt.  I also installed xmonad-contrib from the same place.  Well, strictly the package installed is

    libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev

When I'm next able to give it some sustained time, I'll try bugging anyone there that happens to be awake; thanks.
