Hi,
I want to add here some voice / opinions about the current situation.
Current behaviour is very conterproductive in my use case. I use my main panel
as a kind of menu and information panel I want to see if and only if I want
to,. But there are some applications I use, which just want attention, but I
have no idea *why* do they want it. In any case, they force the panel to stay
unhidden until I visit those applications windows. For example, every time I
need to log in, there are 1-3 application windows which want attention for
whatever reason. The panel will not autohide untill I cycle trough all of the
application windows once. The same situation pops up every now and then while
using the desktop.
I believe there are different use cases here; some users want panels as some
kind of intelligent/persistent notifier for pending tasks, which will autohide
only if there is nothing in the work queue. Others want to check it if and only
if they want to. I fall into this latter category.
All in all I feel there should be a more simple autohide option; it should
always autohide no matter what wants attention.
As a sidenote, IMHO notifications should never be persistent on the screen; if
there are notifications, they should be perhaps popups which will stop nagging
in, say, in a timeframe of 2-10seconds. Current way of notifying (preventing
autohide) of attention-seeking applications seems very odd and
conterproductive.
