If you're running xmonad 0.12, you might want to either downgrade to 0.11
or remove your current xmonad + xmonad-contrib and reinstall both from git
master. 0.12 introduced strut caching, but had a bug that caused it to
cache the nonexistence of struts at startup time and not notice them being
added later when the dock is (un)managed.
