Hmm, shouldn't it be "1" instead of "-1" after "-xs"?

I don't use Xinerama, so I don't know the behaviour with more than one screen, but the dzen notification should appear on top of your screen, for about 1 or two seconds. I'm far too ignorant about xmonad and dzen to be sure, actually.

Test with gajim (jabber client), if you can. Its urgent events work correctly out of the box. Just make sure the conversation windows isn't focused.
