I was using xmonad as my window manager with gnome 3 using the instructions in the wiki. It was working great until I upgraded xmonad today and now it's stopped working.
I can load xmonad with no issue from startx on it's own, but when I try to load xmonad into a gnome-session with GDM, I get the error:
failed to load session xmonad
The only button is "Log-out" which brings me back to GDM.
I noticed this in /var/log/messages:
localhost gnome-session[6088]: WARNING: Unable to find default provider 'xmonad' of required provider 'windowmanager'
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

I just tried it and to me it works if i create a xmonad.desktop file, e. g. in /usr/share/applications. This one works, but could be extended further:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=xmonad
Exec=xmonad
Icon=
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
Categories=
Edit: for a better experience, you could add values from metacity.desktop, most notably:
NoDisplay=true
so it does not appear in any auto generated menus.
