Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I've verified this twice on this machine - but I do have it working on
an older version.

Problem description
Setting the top panel (either the default top_panel_screen0 or a new one -
let's call it panel_1) to not expand (i.e. expand is not ticked in panel
properties or in gconf-editor apps/panels/toplevels/panel_1) and set to
auto-hide (i.e. auto-hide is ticked) results in the panel not auto-hiding.
Expected behaviour
Panels should be compact and auto-hide. Ideally, top_panel_screen0 will be set
to not auto-hide and always be visible. Panel_1 will be off to the right and
auto-hide when not brought to focus. This is the behaviour on the other
machine.
