Are you using EwmhDesktops?
Yes. I guess the first question would be, does that protocol support a notion of multiple desktops? If so, can we use it to synchronize the notion of desktop in xmonad and KDE?
I suspect the issue is that, while there seems to be code in EwmhDesktops to support applications requesting workspaces, it doesn't seem to work. Possibly we're not listening for the PropertyNotify that's sent when the current desktop attribute is set on the window.
Actually, the KDE pager is able to select xmonad workspaces for me (using a possibly somewhat out-of-date darcs version of xmc). It does fail after I've deleted a workspace, however. :( Definitely could use some work. Still, it's already a much more friendly way for my wife to change desktops than to try to teach her obscure keyboard commands for a computer she hardly ever uses (since she has her own non-xmonad-running laptop). -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
