Thanks for the report. I guess this problem can be traced back to the Debian package for haskell-x11. I’m not sure if Igloo, haskell-x11’s maintainer, sees a problem in Xinerama support. If not, I’m sure he will fix this in the near future. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469852 You can locally recompile and install (in that order) haskell-x11, xmonad, xmonad-contrib. If you have libxinerama-dev and x11proto-xinerama-dev (not sure which) installed while doing so, you’ll get xinerama support. If you need more detailed instructions, feel free to ask.
