Thanks for replying and no, not using xinerama.
I did have a closer look and there seem to be two issues involved.

You were right, what I described here is most likely a compiz issue and
needs the "Rotate Cube" plugin enabled and "Rotate Flip Left/Right" set
to the left/right screen edge (default). Then compiz always "steals" the
left and right screen edges from gnome-panel, even when "Edge Flip
Pointer" is disabled (default). This must have changed recently. Some
two weeks ago compiz enabled these hot screen edges only when needed,
e.g. moving a window to another desktop.

The other issue is with (non-expanded?) autohide panels which only
contain launchers, no applets like the clock. They don't unhide at all,
compiz or not, until I reset and set their autohide-property in gconf-
editor.

So, my plan would be to move this report to compiz and open a new one
for the second thing. Does that sound right?
