since I implemented this feature, I have to apologize for the lack of
documentation here. If I remember correctly, the numerical argument is
used as a timeout for xmobar to hide itself again. I just don't know
anymore if it's seconds or tenth of seconds. Maybe you could try it out
with a positive number, e.g. 2, and see if xmobar behaves as described
above.

Best,
