[LUNA] Question on Xmnodad, GNOME, and RHEL6

Background: 
I'm trying to use Xmonad at work, on a RHEL6 system running GNOME (Xmonad is the only tiling WM I can see available at work). I'm not glutton for punishment -- I'm hoping it'll make it easier when I have to use remote desktop from my work laptop (I occasionally need a GUI from home and X-Forwarding over the VPN is intolerably slow -- remote desktop is slow but very usable). 

I installed with 'sudo yum install xmonad-gnome'. 

Problem: 
I can't figure out why mod-p isn't bringing up dmenu; it instead toggles my two monitors to/from mirroring. I've remapped Super (left Windows key) to mod, but I saw the same behavior when mod was left-Alt. I can use mod-shftt-p to bring up gmrun. 

Is there a way to tell Xmonad to list all the current keybindings? I know mod-shift-slash is supposed to show the default bindings (it doesn't in my setup, BTW), but I want to see if RedHat may have tweaked some things. 

I think my unfamiliarity with Haskell will slow me down from being a "power user", but that's OK -- I like learning stuff!
