[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#660174: Bug#660174: xmonad: Windows do not fill entire screen using any layout

[Ben VB]

Hi Joachim,

My xmonad.hs is below. I have two panels: xmobar and trayer. trayer is
started via a script that is called by gdm, using the line:

trayer --edge top --align right --SetDockType true --SetPartialStrut true
--expand true --width 10 --transparent true --alpha 0 --tint 0x000000
--height 17 &

It turns out that killing trayer fixes the problem, and the space is about
as wide as trayer is tall, so maybe it's actually a bug with trayer?

Also, sorry about the "important": this is my first-ever Debian bug report,
and rather than spending an hour agonising over which option to choose, I
just picked one and figured that if it was a bad choice someone would tell
me ... so now I know better :)

Thanks,
Ben
