Dear Archers,

I've had a working Xmonad installation since May, I start it via GDM and 
"/usr/share/xsessions/xmonad.desktop" as described in Arch wiki.

However, since the latest "pacman -Syu" GDM just tells me it was unable 
to start the Xmonad session. I've issued "xmonad --recompile" several 
times, which didn't help. "~/.xmonad/xmonad.errors" is brand new, but empty.

my latest related updates:
