* I'm using the same configuration file that I was using with Ubuntu 11.04 (http://www.tonicebrian.com/2011/09/05/my-working-environment-with-xmonad/) , but windows do not take the full screen real state (take a look at the attached picture where you will see a strip at the right of the screen not filled with the thunderbird window). What could be wrong with xmonad for not taking that space?
I see something similar and, so far, have blamed it on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=623429.

When I do the xprop in that strip, I get: <snip> Perhaps de nautilus --no-desktop is not working as expected?
Well, the output you posted didn't set any struts at all. While I can't be 100% sure, it seems whatever window you happened to click on was not the culprit causing the blank space along the right-hand side. Try clicking a few other windows; you're looking for a property labeled "_NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL(CARDINAL)". To double-check that it is indeed a rogue strut, you can take "avoidStruts" out of your xmonad.hs temporarily; if the space goes away after a reload (and possibly a layout ping, by default bound to mod+shift+space), then some window is setting a bad strut. This would make me 100% sure that the nautilus window you clicked is not the culprit. ~d

Yes, removing the avoidStruts makes xmonad to use the whole screen space. And yes, it seems that trayer was the one causing trouble. I was launching trayer with:
trayer --edge top --align right --SetDockType true --SetPartialStrut true --expand true --width 15 --height 12 --transparent true --tint 0x000000
If you remove the SetPartialStrut it seems working now. This line is something I copied from somewhere else and I'm not really sure about the meaning of putting that parameter.
Ah, interesting! Removing SetPartialStrut fixes it for me too. Thanks.

My understanding is that the problem is with trayer. If you kill trayer do things look correct? Less drastic than killing trayer is to hide it (Mod-b in the default configuration) and see if that fixes things.
