Thanks for the workaround hint with tint.
In order to spare others some time, here's a more detailed instruction:
apt-get install tint2
(for Debian based systems)
A minimal config for a transparent panel:
panel_monitor = 2
panel_position = center left vertical
panel_size = 100% 65
panel_layer = bottom
This can easily be adapted. E.g. this config places the panel on the left side
of the second screen, 65 pixels wide. That's where I have the KDE panel which
shouldn't cover maximized windows.
I saved this config to .tint2rc. Running tint2 now adds the defined panel to
the screen. If a maximized window is open, it will immediately resize. Other
then that, the panel is invisible.
Since I often change physical workplace, having the secondary display sometimes
at the left, sometimes at the right side, I don't always want this fix. Thus I
wrote a small script which lets me toggle the panel with a single command:
#!/bin/bash
# if already running, kill it
if kill `pidof tint2`; then
echo "tint2 killed"
else
# else start it
(tint2 -c ~/.tint2rc > /dev/null &) &
echo "tint2 started"
fi
This is saved to ~/bin/fixdualhead and made executable.
Now I just need to press ALT+F2 and type fixdualhead -> Enter to add or remove
the panel.
