Do you ever see the xmobar appear?   It occurs to me that this may be the
usual $PATH issue:  $PATH is set in terminals, so you can find xmobar
easily, but the $PATH passed to xmonad itself is
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin or whatever your system uses as a default
$PATH and xmobar installed via cabal or (some ways) git won't be found.

This would show up as errors in ~/.xsession-errors on many, but not all,
systems.
