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).

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.
