** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-panel
  
  To save space, I normally set Ubuntu's top panel to auto-hide.
  But the bad defaults make it necessary that I have run gconf-editor to make 
the gnome-panel behave more responsive.
  
  a) The hide/unhide animation is too slow.
  => Set "animation_speed" to "fast" by default.
  
  b) When hidden, the panel still shows 6 pixel. This looks unprofessional when 
you have "expand" deactivated, because you can see a small bar of the 
wallpaper, which is confusing.
  => Set "auto_hide_size" from 6 to 1.
  
  c) The hide/unhide delay is too large.
  => Reduce the "unhide_delay". (something between 0 and 100 should be ok.)
  => Reduce the "hide_delay". (something around 300 should be ok.)
+ 
+ d) Setting "auto_hide_size" to 0 does not work.
+ => This should probably solved with a transparency.

The auto-hide default settings of the gnome-panel are cumbersome, making the 
panel look sluggish and uncomfortable
