Description Sascha Heid 2007-12-04 07:14:40 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Im running a 3-head xinerama Desktop under Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.

I have a panel on each screen and i would like to hide them once in a while but instead of sliding into the invisible 10th dimension they just move to the screen next to them.

I feel some pride having exposed this deceit but i would rather have a possibility to hide the panels.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
yes

Same problem here.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have two screens (set-up in left and right)
2. Put a panel on the left screen
3. Hide it by clicking on the right arrow
Observe that it moves to the right screen, over all the windows there.

I think the right behaviour would be to have the panel resize itself, instead of moving. Of course, it should be a "soft resizing", a resizing that does not move the objects in the panel.
