panel dock type broken

[edscott]

I liked the old way where you could set the level. But I do not see any
problem with having it always on top and set to auto hide. What would be
nice would be to have some configurable "resistance" to show the window
(like when dragging windows from one desktop to another). This is
because the only problem with autohide mode is that the panel is
constantly unhiding unintentionally while you move the mouse close to
the bottom.

two cents...
