i have this problem too.   however, there are several methods for dealing with it (besides getting the latest darcs version or waiting for those features to hit the main release)
a search for simply xmonad and gimp, will likely find them.

here's the first example

i love how this shows the immense power and configurability of xmonad, to be the wm you want.
