Option to Ignore EWMH Struts?

[MyNameIsCosmo]

I am using the latest bspwm from git (commit 644b200) and the latest polybar.
My current issue is that bspwm will respect monitor padding until polybar is reloaded, in which case it will increase the padding to whichever side polybar is.

I highly suspect this is due to the EWMH structs from #487

This issue started out after reloading polybar config
See the following video for an example:

This seems to affect the current desktop, even though bspc wm -d states that the monitor padding is set and not the desktop padding. The other desktops do not seem to be affected until i either reload my configuration when on the desktop, or close all windows.

Would it be OK to add a configuration to ignore EWMH struts?
I'd be happy following up with a PR if it would be accepted

I encounter this issue as well and have a workaround by creatibg a script module in Polybar and having it execute every second, the script simply runs bspc config top_padding 25, which seems to resolve it.

That isn't quite a solution I'd like to go with.
I'm happy submitting a patch to have an option to ignore struts.

Possibly related: #836

Do you want me to test your patch before you submit it?

Go ahead and test the PR if you'd like, it's a straight-forward configuration, and the impact should be minimal.
