Typically standalone ones are run independently of xmonad since there's no
reason to respawn them on cmd-q (unlike the ones being fed from DynamicLog,
like your top xmobar, which *must* be respawned every time xmonad is
restarted).

Still doesn't appear to be anything wrong.  Are you sure you're not seeing
the space (typically 1-2px) left for descenders in the font?  Perhaps a
screenshot would help.
