Description of problem: Bad default value of auto_hide_size. And, auto_hide_size is missing on the "panel properties" dialog box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.4.0-3 Steps to Reproduce: Use autohide. Actual Results: Too much of the panel still visible. And, no way to fix this on "panel properties". Expected Results: Default value of auto_hide_size should be 1 (or 0 if possible). And, the "panel properties" should allow to modify auto_hide_size. Workaround: use gconf-editor, select "/ apps panel profiles default toplevels bottom_panel", and modify auto_hide_size to 1.

Created attachment 97509 [details] gnome-panel-2.4.0-autohidesize.patch This patch sets the default auto_hide_size to 1.
Not sure if this is something to be "fixed". 6 pixels is allright for me, so this is probably a matter of opinion. Are you sure the panel will even reappear if you set the auto_hide_size to 0? Would be nice if this would be configurable, but just setting auto_hide_size to 1 doesn't seem to be the way to go.
What is this patch supposed to do? I applied it but don't see any change. Should there be a visible change or only a functional one?
Thank you for testing. It doesn't change the current settings when upgrading. It only sets the default initial value to 1 instead of 6. There is more test feedback on the bug report at gnome.
This being tracked upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127973 closing out as UPSTREAM
I'm not sure closing this bug as UPSTREAM at the current stage is a good solution. We first have to establish if this needs to be fixed in Fedora Core 1. - Personally I think not as this patch doesn't seem to have any positive impact when doing an *update*, but this is just one opinion. - If not it might just as well be closed WONTFIX. Please reopen and have a discussion (on fedora-devel) first. (If this were a single issue I wouldn't mind it being closed right now, but since there are other issues that need to be addressed this issue could be addressed at the same time just as well.)
