New issue 513 by t... at takeontom.com: 'Failed to load session "xmonad"'  
error after selecting "GNOME with Xmonad" option in lightdm on Quantel beta
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=513

Note: this is similar to bug #512 and might/probably be the same underlying  
issue, but is arrived at in a different way and results in a different error

Note: Have also added this bug to launchpad:  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xmonad/+bug/1047794

On a fairly virgin install of the Quantel beta:

$ sudo apt-get install xmonad
reboot
select "GNOME with Xmonad" from lightdm
attempt to login

the screen redraws, sometimes to a blank screen, sometimes to the lightdm  
screen.

the error 'Failed to load session "xmonad"' is displayed on a popup.

pressing OK on the popup takes me back to lightdm.
