Xmonad was announced today on the haskell-cafe mailing list. It supports multiple monitors through xinerama. The unique part of this window manager is that it is written in Haskell in under 500 lines. Haskell is a purely functional programming language with very strong static typing to ensure correctness.

I was thinking about writing a WM in Haskell only a few days ago... but I doubt I could do such a good job. The code is very clean and I'm glad to see that one of the authors is doing the Summer of Code project for the X11-Haskell bindings. Very promising.
