Version details: 2.8.3, both Gentoo AND Fedora Core 3
Distribution/Version: Gentoo AND Fedora Core 3

I don't have a 100% reliable means to reproduce this, but...

1) Enable autohide on the main gnome panel
2) Use system for a while.

Expected results:
Panel should always autohide when it has not been moused-over or clicked on or
had focus for the hide delay.

Actual results:
Sometimes, the panel will stop autohiding - nothing short of killing and
restarting the process will make it autohide again (e.g. disabling and
re-enabling autohide, activating manual hide & hiding the panel, switching
virtual desktops, switching away from X and switching back)

AFAIK, the only problem left with auto-hide panels is bug #134563.
