You're spawning the bottom one with spawnPipe, which is wasteful and not

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).
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. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
