Given the number of duplicates and people subscribed to this bug, I
thought I'd offer a workaround that I recently discovered: Docky.  As I
currently see it, the gist of docky is to recreate, in open-source
fashion, the OS X dock.  On OS X I find the dock annoying, but since
installing Docky, I rather enjoy it.  I believe it only available if
you're running Karmic or newer.

For Lucid, it's already part of the repositories:

$ sudo apt-get install docky

If you're running Karmic, I direct you to the docky site, but it's
basically 3 command line operations, not one: http://www.go-docky.com/

For myself, I've even gained some vertical space on my screen because
I'm now able to remove the bottom panel, after enabling fade away in
Docky.

A suggestion.
