That would allow X11 bars to work.

_NET_WM_STRUTS_PARTIAL superseeds the normal _NET_WM_STRUTS. But all of this is a bit annoying, and has a few pitfalls. E.g. bars may (or may not, depends on the client) move around when outputs get moved/resized. Partial struts on the top end of an output that's below another are really iffy (xmonad/xmobar have a hack for this, that's non-standard).

I think the idea is ok, but I'd rather see work put towards porting applications that would need this to layer-shell, now that it's in rootston/sway (and my experimental waymonad branch).
