I see. "set lines" report 34 when Gvim is opened and when it is refreshed
(by using one of the workarounds mentioned here) "set lines" report 37.

So I search around in the vim help files and found out in the end that the
'guiheadroom' is set to 50 by default. This is subtracted from window
height.

But by adding:

set ghr=0

to .gvimrc, gvim will use the whole height and the problem goes away!

So not a dwm problem after all... Hope it works for others too.
I use vim 7.2.79
