I've just discovered this bug with Lucid using dual monitors (laptop
internal LVDS 1280x800 and external DVI-D 1280x1024) using 'twin-view
(not separate X screens).

When (in this case) the lower panel properties are set to "Show Hide
buttons" the result of clicking the buttons is not to hide the panel but
simply to *move* it off the current screen.

Here, the external monitor is to the left of the laptop. When the
panel's left 'hide' button is pressed the panel 'slides' to the left and
cuts across the external display Because the external monitor has a
greater vertical pixel-count and the tops of the monitors are aligned,
the 'moved' panel cuts across the lower third of the second screen, and
remains 'on-top' of all other windows.

I'm attaching a photo which makes it obvious why this isn't a trivial
bug.

panel 'hide' buttons only cause panel to 'move' onto secondary monitors
