It seems to have no such option.

Good catch. That was it. I don't know Haskell, but I've butchered the xmobar
code a little bit to *not* set the override_redirect attribute, and to set a
window type, and it appears to work. OpenBox resizes things to avoid stepping
on xmobar.

Ah, and a small setback. Turning off override_redirect now means that the
xmobar window, while properly avoided by OpenBox-managed windows going full-
screen, is now tied to a particular virtual desktop. A recommendation is to
set _NET_WM_STATE = _NET_WM_STATE_STICKY, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR,
_NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER, so I'm going to see if I can figure out how to do
that.
