struts and open space

[ivanova]

I use the following script (not mine) to open some space at the top of my
desktop for some gDesklets. This works except that I cannot move the gDesklets
into this area. I thought I could modify the script to use _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL
but this does not work. I used this same script in fluxbox without problems. Can
anyone explain what is going on and perhaps have a sollution?

Thanks
