entirely effective (if your intent was to have the bottom bar go away when xmonad is restarted like the top one does, it won't work; the bar has to actually use a StdinReader or it won't notice).

Yeah, that's right. So what's the more appropiate way to run two xmobar-instances?

Typically standalone ones are run independently of xmonad since there's no reason to respawn them on cmd-q (unlike the ones being fed from DynamicLog, like your top xmobar, which *must* be respawned every time xmonad is restarted).

You were right. There were multiple instances of xmobar running. I fixed that one :)

Doesn't appear to be an xmonad problem; you didn't provide your .xmobarrc

files, so can't tell from there. It might also be a bug in xmobar,

Still doesn't appear to be anything wrong. Are you sure you're not seeing the space (typically 1-2px) left for descenders in the font? Perhaps a screenshot would help.

Here you are: http://postimage.org/image/cnz6xcnhp/ Maybe you're right and it is the space left for descenders I'm seeing. Greetings, 1126
