I am using gtk2hs to make some sidebar thing for xmonad. Well, after I tried a few ways, I still cannot make it dock like xmobar. It just covered other windows at the edge of the screen. Could someone give me a sample or something I could learn from? Thanks.
You need to go to freedesktop.org and read up on the Extended Window Manager Hints. In this particular case the extension you need is the _NET_WM_STRUT property.
