So here is a clue. It appears that the Static position doesn't export
it's dimensions. Here is xprop on xmobar run with Top position:

andrew at basement:~$ xprop
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK
_NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL(CARDINAL) = 0, 0, 18, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1279, 0,
0


and xprop of xmobar with Static position:

andrew at basement:~$ xprop
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK
_NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL(CARDINAL) = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0


so I guess it's safe to say this is an xmobar problem?
