How are you calling dmenu? I think you might need to use "dmenu_run", NOT just "dmenu" (and this is something that changed sometime in the past). >> This is what I have now in my xmonad.hs ,

Thanks! I switched from: , ((modm, xK_p ), spawn "exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu` && eval \"exec $exe\"") to , ((modm, xK_p ), spawn "dmenu_run") and dmenu is now working again.
(That said, I find dmenu is sometimes too slow, and I end up using gmrun and typing the command and completing in there). The original form, when it worked, was fast. Now with dmenu_run it is noticeably slower, so maybe I will switch to gmrun as well. I had been using gmrun under fluxbox, but always found it slow there.
