Oh. It's certainly possible this is not a regression, and it never 
really worked with gnome-panel. The report I'm looking at is this one:
https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/258#issuecomment-865941336

Nothing for you to worry about, though. Just wanted to let you know 
about those old discussions in case you missed those, and perhaps 
express my sadness over not going with the workaround most other WMs 
implemented. :-)

The PR with the spec update and linked implementation PRs will be 
helpful should we try to implement support for `_GNOME_WM_STRUT_AREA`. 
Thanks for that.
