I am not saying completely off the screen, but parts of it under the panel.

4.2 and 4.3 panels have the behavior I describe.

It does not disappear but can be partially covered.

BTW the way I'd like the panel to work is like xftaskbar4 in 4.2 does.
Indeed under the taskbar I cannot slip a window. But the panel does not 
act like the taskbar, as a 'screen border' so to speek.

I am afraid my wording is unclear and we are talking about different 
issues. So to sum up: I wish the panel behaved by default as the 
xftaskbar4 does in 4.2, i.e border of screen, otherwise maximizing or 
moving windows around can lead to a situation like the browser status 
bar being covered.
