[SOLVED] Compiz standalone + dzen statusbar

Question

I've recently started using compiz standalone.
Is there a way to prevent windows from going below the statusbar?
Edit: solved by starting dzen with the -dock option

Okay solved the problem now. Here's how I did it:
First I install compiz-alone-utils-git from AUR.
Change /etc/slim.conf line (remove dbus-launch):
login_cmd exec ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
Change ~/.xinitrc:
exec compiz-alone-session
The remaining autostart applications put into ~/.config/compiz/autostart.sh:
# This shell script is run before Compiz launches.
# Environment variables set here are passed to the Compiz session.
# Set a background color
BG=""
if which hsetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
BG=hsetroot
else
if which esetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
BG=esetroot
else
if which xsetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
BG=xsetroot
fi
fi
fi
test -z $BG || $BG -solid "#202020"
# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null 2>&1 && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
# Run XDG autostart things. By default don't run anything desktop-specific
# See xdg-autostart --help more info
DESKTOP_ENV="COMPIZ"
if which /usr/bin/xdg-autostart >/dev/null 2>&1; then
/usr/bin/xdg-autostart $DESKTOP_ENV
fi
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd'
nvidia-settings -l
sh ~/.fehbg &
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources &
volumeicon &
xfce4-panel &
conky &
covergloobus &
(you can find the skeleton file within /etc/xdg/compiz/autostart.sh)
The relevant part is the xdg-autostart part within the autostart.sh it seems.
Commenting it out resurrects the problem.
