[xmonad] XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks: can't toggle dock gap since 0.13

[Mekeor Melire]

Hello,

since version 0.13 of xmonad(-contrib) and upgrading my config to that
version, I find my config not to work as expected. Specifically, my
binding for `sendMessage ToggleStruts` doesn't toggle the dock gap
anymore. Instead, all windows overlap over my dock (dzen2) all the time.

I followed the instructions at the documentation (of
***@xmonad-contrib):

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.13/docs/XMonad-Hooks-ManageDocks.html

i.e. I apply `docks` on the XConfig and `avoidStruts` on the layout.

You can find my current config on GitHub (repo: "config"; branch:
"xmonad-0.13"):

https://github.com/mekeor/config/blob/xmonad-0.13/home/mekeor/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

I also checked CHANGES.md but version 0.13 only seems to fix bugs in
that module.

What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something?

dzen2 needs the -dock parameter now. I don't know why; supposedly it sets
the strut anyway and supposedly we have code to handle it without the EWMH
dock indicator.

Yes, with 0.13 you will need both 'docks' and 'avoidStruts'. Most of the
documentation you find on Xmonad out there isn't up to date on this.

xmonad $ docks defaultConfig
{ manageHook = manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig
, layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig
, etc...
