Hmm, no idea! Well, I've sort of got a work around in place, I removed the '-dock' from the left bar and ran it after a 5 second sleep. Works nicely, the only thing that bugs me is that if floating windows pass through it, it stays on top. Do you know of any switch to set dzen to set it to the bottom layer? (Perhaps this is something for the WM to handle)

Ah... it's definitely not a good work around. Fullscreen videos show the left bar :/

Can you recommend any alternatives to dzen? Perhaps ones that handle text aligment :P
