Re: Panel behavior

[Steve Gusz <sgusz painewebber com>]

I tried using autohide but I have things like my battery monitor on the far
right of my panel.  If I use autohide I can't casually glance down at it.
Most programs that cover the panel I run off to the left.  So it would just be
nice to be able to keep the panel running below my windows, but then click on
it to bring it forward.  This way I can still see my battery monitor.

Also, is there a way to set one panel to stay on top, and another panel to be
underneath.  I can only find such options under global properties.  Would be
cool if you could do this on a per panel basis...
