Since some time (sadly I'm not sure when), I've started to see a little space (like 5 to 10 pixels) between the vim window and the terminal window[1].

This is your terminal not using its full allocation, probably because it violates ICCCM and considers its space request to be obligatory on the window manager.

http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-LayoutHints.html *might* help, but you may need to consider using a non-broken terminal program. Too many lazy X11 programmers don't understand that the window manager has the final word on window sizes and it's up to their program to deal.

When you say "non-broken terminal program" are you talking about my terminal emulator? In the SS I was running Terminator, but I have also tried with gnome-terminal, urxvt, rxvt, xterm and aterm and the problem persists. Curiously lxterminal, Terminal (xfce terminal) and guake, vim covers the whole window. Afaik Terminal and gnome-terminal are both based on xterm, so I would expect the issue on both.
