Note: This is very similar to bug #1047794, but the error manifests itself slightly differently.
On a fairly virgin install of the Quantel beta:
$ sudo apt-get install xmonad
then reboot
select xmonad in lightdm
attempt to log in
lightdm simply hangs and becomes completely unresponsive.
not sure what log information I could provide to help diagnose the problem more fully.
will also try to replicate on a completely virgin install.

Hmm, did you update from 12.04? Can you attach ~/.xsession-errors and
/var/log/lightdm/* please? One thing to try would be `xmonad
--recompile' then re-logging in, in case it's caused by the newer
Haskell stack.
Cheers,
