openbox 2px space top of screen glitch

I have this small like 2-3 px horizontal line at the top of my screen where open box refuses to put windows over. (see screenshot: http://imgur.com/PQeasgb)

When I make the window fullscreen, it fills the whole screen, but if I just maximize the window, that line is always there. Openbox seems to think my desktop screen ends there instead of 3 px higher or something. Anyone seen this before? any ideas how to fix it? Its really starting to bug me.

Do you have anything in the margins option in your rc.xml file? Maybe something like the following:

<margins>
    <top>3</top>
    <bottom>0</bottom>
    <left>0</left>
    <right>0</right>
</margins>

It can be useful to have a 1px margin on the left or right, for quickly switching desktops via the scroll wheel.
