Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Hi, second try. I hope you can reproduce it this time.
I have a panel set to autohide with animation turned off. This worked
well for a while, but recently, after restarts that panel stays hidden.
It basically disappears and moving the mouse at its edge has no effect.
The only way to get it back is to change its gconf settings, for example
toggling autohide in gconf-editor.
The window-manager doesn't affect the outcome this time, it happens with visual
effects set to none or to normal.
Not running xinerama or dual displays either and the orientation of the panel
doesn't matter as I've tried left and top.
I took care that I could really, really reproduce it this time. So this
is what I did on today's daily live cd (Jaunty):
1. Create new panel, an empty panel all setting at default
2. gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/panel/toplevels/panel_0/auto_hide true
3. gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/panel/toplevels/panel_0/enable_animations false
4. killall gnome-panel # or restart X
--> panel is gone
and to get it back:
5. gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/panel/toplevels/panel_0/auto_hide false
6. gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/panel/toplevels/panel_0/auto_hide true
--> panel is back
