Bug#369596: gnome-panel: Does not unhide properly on xinerama screens with different resolutions

[Kai-Martin]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.14.1-1
Severity: normal


Define a panel at the bottom of the smaller screen of a xinerama system. Set
auto-hide to true. Then the mouse has to hit exactly the remaining strip of
the hidden panel for some time to unhide the panel. If the mouse moves below 
the bottom of the screen the panel keeps its hidden state. Thus, it is difficult
to unhide the panel if the remaining size is set to a low value.
