Please note that this semantics of _NET_WM_STRUT and _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL is different to what is in wm-spec. The "correct" thing to do would be to discard the covered portion of screen 1 leaving two narrow areas at the sides, but this new behaviour is probably more desirable in many cases, at least for xmonad/xmobar users.

The correct solution of having separate _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL for each Xinerama screen was mentioned in wm-spec maillist in 2007, but has never really been proposed, discussed and included in wm-spec. Hence this "hack".

This looks exactly what is needed for issue 316. Thanks for writing the patch. When I apply the patch this happens:

darcs: Cannot apply this patch bundle, since we're missing: Thu Nov 19 06:25:47 EST 2009 Tomas Janousek * tweaked MouseResizableTile

Please send that patch, or re-record the changes to ManageDocks such that it doesn't depend on that patch. You can make sure that the patch bundle includes all required patches doing using:

darcs send -O http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib # or whatever the destination is

I'm not sure that the concern for standards is a big deal here, since the current buggy behavior isn't reasonable (as in issue 316): http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=316 -- Adam
