Hi, Yakir.
It seems to be xmonad issue only, it uses screen resolution retrieved 
when X session started and did not update it dynamically. I wonder what 
xmonad module is responsible for that issue and how it could be fixed.

I'm reproducing this bug every day and it is actually the last thing 
that stops me from using xmobar every day.
