For me it happens all the time once the mouse is over the panel. I don't
think that this behavior is very convenient and I don't think it is

Btw, my panel is always on the top layer too, no way to change it.
It means that I always have the panel visible when Im watching TV in
full-screen with xawtv. Don't know if it is a bug or normal.
