** 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.
