Bug#519215: gnome panel does not auto-hide correctly

[Damyan Ivanov]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.28.0-3+b1
Severity: normal

It happens to me too to have a gnome-panel that doesn't hide anymore. 
Re-setting the 'auto-hide' setting doesn't help.

What does help, is `killall gnome-panel'. Not very elegant, but may save some 
frustration.


Thanks.
