Did a system update today and after that I can no longer load Xmonad from KDM. Running Xmonad from the failsafe login works without a hitch though...
Here are the pacman logs:

Similar here, but with i3. I cannot load i3 from KDM since last night.
I can load KDE with KDM with no problems and i3 for now, as momo.reina posted, in failsafe mode.

I've tried loading Xmonad without KDM and after a few seconds it just exits with a
connection to x lost error. Right now it seems dependent on KDM to load properly, but at the same time it will only load from failsafe mode and not directly from it's own
.desktopentry.

My i3 loads fine without KDM, with a .xnintrc file and startx. It just won't load with KDM, while KDE loads as usual.
Not sure if it's relevant: I noticed that if I try to load first i3 with KDM (then I fall back to KDM, since it won't load), and then switch session to KDE, it loads the desktop, but optirun won't work ( cannot open display). If I start KDE first optirun works fine.

There is another thread about this issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180948
The solution, as described in the link there works for me.
I put the line DesktopNames=i3 in the i3.desktop file.
OP you should try putting DesktopNames=xmonad in your xmonad.desktop, if you haven't already done so.

Confirm that it works, thanks for the hint!
