That would probably be the window manager. Anyway, what I think you
should do is hide the panel and create a new empty window of a few
pixels high with the same width as the panel and put that on the edge of
the screen.

Sounds like that should work. By the way, I think you may want to use
the enter-notify and leave-notify events instead.

If you send me some code I could have a look at it and see if I can find
something.
