I've just rediscovered scrotwm as spectrwm and its philosophy and paradigm are attractive to me as a grudging xmonad user. However, I'm not ready to give up my xmobar and would like to use it with spectrwm. On the wiki and in various other places I see how to set up a region for the use of dzen2 at the top of the screen. Trying this with xmobar, it is always obscured by the tiled windows, and I would rather have it at the bottom of the screen.
Does know how to get xmobar to take up the bottom of the screen in spectrwm?
EDIT: Turning lowerOnStart to False allows xmobar to stay visible, itself obscuring tiled other windows. The region I created in ~/.spectrwm.conf still doesn't seem to be respected

As often happens, once I ask for help I figure it out.
For xmobar, I have it setup with:
position = Bottom
lowerOnStart = False
hideOnStart = False
allDesktops = True
overrideRedirect = True
persistent = FalseThen I develop two regions given a screen resolution 1600x900 and bar height 14.
region = screen[1]: 1600x14+0+14
region = screen[1]: 1600x886+0+0I'm hoping now to hack together a way to toggle the bar and its region using xmobar's dbus support and spectrwm dynamic reloading ability (though windows are reorganized).
