I had that problem.. I had to manually put define HAVE_ESD 1 in the
config.h and recompile it.  I've had esd for a while, but for some reason
it didnt pick it up.  didnt investigate, just went on.

I had this behavior too.  Would hide the panel from the left and it would
jump to the upper left corner of the screen, with about 10% showing, but
no applets.  Hide it from the right end and it shows up in the upper right
corner, about 2 panels widths down, and all BUT 10% showing.  After
un-hiding, it showed up on the gnome-pager as a running task "Panel", even
though it wasnt supposed to..  After that I could even shade it (and it
really did shade, but to a 5 pixel high black bar), and iconify it to the
gnome-pager.  Pretty strange.

I updated last night, now no hiding works at all, unless I have that
panel's properties open, try to hide it, change the hidebutton's
properties (ex. remove hidebutton arrows), and apply the changes, then it
hides, until I do that again, then its back.  Seems to be not updating
properly.
