Thanks, I cannot agree with you more. I'm afraid I gave in to the pressure too
soon. To me it makes sense to have the panel as a dock type window.

On the other hand there are apparently a lot of people who want their panel to
be covered by other windows.

I have two options:
- Make the panel a dock type window. This is my personal preference. It does
  take away some configurability.
- Make panel a normal window and use window state ABOVE for always on top.
  This will possibly make more people happy.

Other opinions?
