So it turns out, I had xmonad.hs as ~/.xmonad.hs not ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs... Pretty embarassing. But I'll resist the temptation to delete the thread in hopes someone gets a chuckle out of it. In my defence, I did figure it out all on my own.

I don't have a great deal of space on my screen, so I thought I'd save some by using icons instead of names for my workspaces.

I'm new to Xmonad. I used to use spectrwm (which I love) but it has been glitchy with a few things and I like the flexibility of Xmonad and its ability to handle exceptions, etc. better. I have, however, run into a sticky spot porting over all my keybindings.
This is a modified xmonad.hs I got from the internet... it works, but the panel only gets shown after I open a program, and the gnome workspace switcher isn't aware of xmonad's workspaces.... ( What else am I missing from gnomeConfig, and how can I fix the issues ?
have you tried, or are you using the manageDocks manageHook?http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-co … Docks.html

I think that this is as minimal as it can get if you ignore the modMask and terminal lines. I've been using xmonad since 2 months ago, so take it with a grain of salt. You need to install xmonad-contrib to get it working.
If you just want the default config, use this instead:import XMonad
main = xmonad defaultConfig { modMask = mod4Mask } -- because alt as the modifier is the worst idea ever

I'm using gnome+xmonad, and I'm trying to set the mod key to the windows key. I set my .xmonad.hs file to:
import XMonad
import XMonad.Config.Gnome
main = xmonad gnomeConfig
myModMask = mod4Mask
I tried to reload the file with alt+q, but no change seems to have occurred. Any suggestions? I'm far from a power user.
