If you're using an unmodified xmonad, the status bar gap is (0,0,0,0).

My experience with refresh is that it's needed rarely, but when it's  
needed there's no good way to do it unless the wm supports it.   
Requiring the user to rebuild xmonad in that case is perhaps less  
than ideal, especially if the only way they can get to that point is  
ServerZap because they can't force a refresh.

Move it to an out of the way keybinding, perhaps, but removing it is  
a bad idea.
