Description Trevor Spiteri 2002-07-05 06:59:39 UTC 
With metacity, I switch to an auto-hide panel using Ctl-Alt-Tab. The panel
remains hidden as although it has the focus, the mouse pointer is somewhere
else.

If the panel has the focus, it should be shown.

This does not always happen. It happened to me before but now it does
not want to. However, I still can get the panel to misbehave. I switch
to it using metacity and it gets shown. Then I hit the Menu key,
followed by the Esc key. The panel gets hidden. Then I switch to an
application (Alt+Tab). The panel gets shown when it really should be
hidden.
