Me too.  It is the very epitome of "distraction", with constant animation
showing the bar and then not showing it.  I don't see how you're losing
space here.  The top bar is smaller than the gnome panel was.  I just don't
see how hiding it translates to more real estate.

It seems to me you should just get rid of the top bar altogether and rely on
the hot key to get to your menu.
