@shane: You are exactly right.

I'd like to add something that has been suggested in other places (I
believe it was at OMG Ubuntu comments). A slow animation when hiding the
launcher at window's maximize would explain what's going on very easily.
The problem for newbies seems to be the launcher just disappears. They
don't have a problem with dodging the launcher with non-maximized
windows because dodging is animated and follows the movement of the
window dodging it. They have a problem with the launcher just vanishing
when a window is maximized. Instead of vanishing the launcher, a visible
animation of the launcher going away would explain its behavior
perfectly well. Of course you can add a tip balloon the first time time
too (with a "don't show again" box or something similar).

Has this slow animation/tip been tested too?
