I does. I was refering to Erik's suggestion to prevent autohiding when
the panel is not on the edge. Now, you get what you ask for. You select
autohide, you get autohide. Don't like it? Don't choose it.

However, autohide on the edge is much nicer since you can just fling
your mouse pointer to the edge and it will hit the target. Hitting the
hidden panel, which is 5 pixels wide, when it's not on the edge requires
much more coordination. But if you want that, you can have it ;)
