I use Ubuntu 9.10 too, with xmonad 9.1 from debian sid. My gnome panel works perfectly, but I don't use the log applet.
In your xmonad.hs there is a section about integrating the log applet with this comment:
-- This retry is really awkward, but sometimes DBus won't let us get our
-- name unless we retry a couple times. ...
Maybe that's the reason for the business.
You could try top or htop, to find out what's going on.

Hi everyone,
I have followed the wiki instructions to setup xmonad on Gnome (Ubuntu 9.10)
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome
and it worked beautifully. Just one thing is wrong: the cursor is permanently in "busy" state. I have noticed that this only happens when I enable (and add to the gnome panel) xmonad log applet. Oddly, if I do "sudo killall Xorg" and start my session over the problem is gone.
I have seen others mention this problem
http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=60a2086ae873324dce1d75cbad6e5402&p=8517408&postcount=10
but couldn't find any solution to it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
thanks!
lara
