Gnome with Xmonad fails to start gnome

[Boyd]

After installing xmonad in 13.04 the "Gnome with Xmonad" login option fails to start any of the Gnome interface.

Switching between workspaces (mod+1/2/3/4) works but only workspace 2 is a functional xmonad desktop. On workspace 1 I can see the desktop but cannot even get a terminal (mod+shift+enter), though I can on workspace 2. All other workspaces look like they're full of display driver errors.

Issue was resolved by creating a ~/.xmonad directory and filling it with an xmonad.hs file.

I started with the default xmonad.hs:
import XMonad
import XMonad.Config.Gnome

main = do
    xmonad $ gnomeConfig

Can you paste the contents of your `~/.xsession-errors' file please?
