Description Krzysztof Luks 2003-09-21 17:38:34 UTC 
Panels that are hidden using hide buttons disappead for good with out a way
to show them again. But they somewhat occupy their previous space because
i'm unable to move new panel into the same place where the hidden one was.
Maximized windows cover hidden panels though.

Doing killall gnome-panel or logging out and in againg makes all hidden
panels appear again.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable hide buttons in panel's properties
2. Click one of them
3. Create new panel and try to move it where the hidden one was
4. killall gnome-panel

Yes, I can see that to. That's pretty annoying.
Comment 2 Michał Suski 2003-10-14 14:02:36 UTC 
Have the same problem. Not only with hide buttons but generally, when
I set panel to autohide it hides for good. I can't see a pixel of it
so there is no area for unhiding.

Thanks for the bug report.  This problem seems to be fixed in the
lastest release. 

Please upgrade to the latest GNOME 2.4, using packages for your
distribution, and feel free to re-open this bug if the problem persists.
