Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I have been running twin view and separate xscreens modes for a while, but
after upgrading to Jaunty (read installing it for scratch) I have found that in
twin view mode - with one screen above another only (eg. laptop+TV) - the
maximized windows get overlapped by the gnome-panel app, so that the windows
titles and control buttons are not accessible, but hidden.
Related to the gnome-panel, too, is that the gnome-panel does not often hide
itself when it should be expected: for instance, a maximized totem movie should
make the gnome-panel automatically disappear; but this does not happen
sometimes as well.
In twin view mode with one screen on the right, no problem gets shown.
The only way to solve these minor issues is to take the gnome-panel down
and/or to hide it.
FYI: I only run one gnome-panel per screen, generally in the upper side in
every my twin view configuration, vertical and horizontal.
AFAIK it is currently a Jaunty only problem, having never experienced it
with previous releases.
