My system tray of choice is stalonetray. I use it with openbox, like it, and would like to use it with Xmonad.
I have managed to get Xmonad to ignore it and conky (it doesn't tile them, leaves them be). However, the first window I open covers them both since neither sets the partial strut hint.
I realize that Xmonad supported setting up margins as in openbox but they seem to have made a rather foolish decision in removing it in favor of the ManageDocks hook. You see how that doesn't work for me (i'm quite sure there are others). So, how could stalonetray be made to work nicely with Xmonad ?
Can devilspie maybe be used for setting the partial strut hint ?

If stalonetray can't be changed to set its strut hints like a proper status bar, then use the module XMonad.Layout.Gaps (in the current darcs xmonadContrib, not 0.7) for the old behavior.

Thanks for the reply, but I use the versions from the repositories, that is 0.7
Do you have any information when 0.8 will be released ?

You could copy the module to your ~/.xmonad, and import it with
import Gaps
http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib/X … ut/Gaps.hs
Potentially you might have to backport other modules (or just copy those over).
In that case, it would be easier to upgrade to the current darcs version (which is in unsupported), or suffer untill 0.8 gets released (which won't be tomorow).

darcs version of both xmonad and xmonad-contrib, or would the darcs version of only xmonad-contrib do it ?

the darcs contrib might build with 0.7 core, but to do that with the packages in unsupported would mean changing (make)dependencies.

I've switched to trayer for now, it can set the partial strut
