Well, for starters the Fedora entry for installing XMonad is blank/empty:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Installing_xmonad#Fedora
Some things I've done:
I set up a .xmonad directory in my home directory with this xmonad.hs
[mich...@localhost ~]$ cat ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
--
-- An example, simple ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file.
-- It overrides a few basic settings, reusing all the other defaults.
--
import XMonad
main = xmonad $ defaultConfig
{ borderWidth = 2
, terminal = "urxvt"
, normalBorderColor = "#cccccc"
, focusedBorderColor = "#cd8b00" }
[mich...@localhost ~]$
I set up a .xsession directory in my home directory with this in it
[mich...@localhost ~]$ cat .xsession
export WINDOW_MANAGER="/usr/bin/xmonad"
exec gnome-session
[mich...@localhost ~]$
Because supposedly X doesn't even check .xsession file without having
xorg-x11-xinit-session installed, I also downloaded that.
I set up a XMonad.desktop file in /usr/share/applications directory
[mich...@localhost ~]$ cat /usr/share/applications/Xmonad.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Xmonad
# change this path according to your xmonad binary
Exec=/usr/bin/xmonad
NoDisplay=true
X-GNOME-WMName=Xmonad
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=XMonad
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=xmonad
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general
X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=WindowManager
X-GNOME-Provides=windowmanager
X-GNOME-Autostart-Notify=true
[mich...@localhost ~]$
I added /usr/bin/xmonad to startup applications.
All these things were suggested.

What's the problem exactly?
