Try running xprop on the xmobar window. Do you see _NET_WM_STRUT in the output? If not, you'll need to upgrade xmobar -- I can't remember which version added strut support. As I use xmobar from darcs the output is: _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK _NET_WM_STRUT(CARDINAL) = 0, 0, 0, 0
That last line is the problem. xmobar sets a strut value of zero pixels on each edge of the screen. Can you show us your xmobar config?
So, this is not the solution. As I mentioned above the manageDock-Hook also avoids managing the xmobar-window so it recognizes it.
manageDocks doesn't apply to xmobar because it is an 'override-redirect' window. Cheers, Spencer Janssen
