Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: unity

Having the auto-hide option is very handy, but intellihide always seemed to 
work better.  The only reason I want auto-hide is so I can have back those 58 
(or so) pixels occupied by the launcher.  
 * On my 1024x600 screen I can have a full 1024 pixels for my web browser
 * If the only window in view doesn't need the full width (say and empathy chat 
window) I want the launcher still there for quick access.
 * It makes it easier to see at a glance what apps are running and switch 
between apps
 * Helps w/ workspace switcher as I don't have to go into the upper-left corner 
then down to workspace switcher
 * Unity doesn't change modes if I switch to a larger external monitor where 
most (if not all) windows don't need to be maximised

Basically, I want the launcher visible unless I need that space.
