On the topic of setting the override-redirect flag, Stefan noted that a
few X apps already let us set that via X resources. I added this to the
FAQ on the webpage:

    xmonad let's you use any application as a 'statusbar', as long as it is
    visible in a given 'gap' on the screen, and has the override-redirect property
    set to true. Many status bar/dock programs already set this property, for
    example, dzen or kicker. To set other applications, you can sometimes use
    normal X resources For example, to use xclock, launch it with

        xclock -digital -xrm '*overrideRedirect: True' -geometry 1024x30+0+0
    
    And set a gap of (30,0,0,0) in Config.hs.  

Spencer also uploaded a screenshot of using the KDE kicker as a statusbar (!)

Any other thoughts on useful status bar programs, anyone?
