Ok, tried on a fresh laptop and it worked this time.
Installed 12-10 using the previously mentioned live CD
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install xmonad
reboot
selected XMonad in lightdm
logged in
went to blank screen, at which point xmonad was working fine.
original bug i think was simply a graphics glitch that looked like it
was not working, but in fact was.
** Changed in: xmonad (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
