My netbook has very little screen space (1024x600), so I have to make
use of every pixel. So I let my panel hide automatically (gives me ca.
24 pixel) and I use the fullscreen (F11) option e.g. of Firefox to get
rid of the title bar.

(Before you mention it: the nebook launcher currently seems to be broken
in maverick, and it also is not flexible enough for me)

I see your argument, I would distinguish between a "make-maximal-use-of-
the-screen" kind of fullscreen (e.g. Firefox, Terminator) and a
"presentational" fullscreen (OOo Impress presentation, video playback,
games).

The former should allow display of the panel, the latter should not.

A simple solution would be to add a checkbox to the panel properties,
whether to unhide the panel when the currently active application is in
fullscreen mode.
