If this error message is the reason for your problem, it seems that the
auto_hide_size setting of your panel seems to be equal to or less then 0.
The auto_hide_size determines the size of your panel when it is
hidden.
You can edit this value in the System Configuration editor.
Unfortunately I do not have gnome24 installed right now so I can't tell
exactly where to edit it.
