Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.11 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030720 Description of problem: The Gnome panel no longer respects the apps/panel/global/panel_minimized_size gconf setting. The default before was three and I have always changed it to 0. I hide my panel and I maximize Evolution, Galeon, Konqueror, and Pan. I don't like the panel hiding the status bar of such applications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.3.90-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hide panel 2. Change apps/panel/global/panel_minimized_size to various values Actual Results: No change in the panel size when hidden Expected Results: Change in the panel size when hidden Additional info: This worked fine with previous versions in Shrike and Severn, aka Gnome 2.2.
This needs to be reported/addressed on the bugzilla.gnome.org level, since we don't like to fork config option names/semantics or APIs. (And the issue doesn't merit maintaining a long-term patch distinct from upstream anyhow.) I periodically file all bugs with MoveUpstream keyword on gnome.org, if you do it yourself please add a link to the gnome bug here and resolve as UPSTREAM.
Closely related to bug 112469. I'll see if I can find an upstream tracking number.
Fixed with gnome-panel-2.4.2-1. Setting /apps/panel/profiles/default/toplevels/bottom_panel now works as expected (minimum size is 1 pixel). Can be closed ERRATA as soon as the update makes it to the main tree.
Yeah, the key you want is /apps/panel/profiles/default/toplevels/$(panel)/auto_hide_size This should work with gnome-panel-2.4.0 too
