Two other potential solutions:

1. A visual proximity indicator to the hidden launcher, for instance as a very soft glow that becomes more visible as the mouse moves towards the left side (similar to KDE 4.x when its taskbar is set to autohide).

- or -

2. Make the left-most column a clickable region and show the launcher only on mouse click or on high-momentum mouse movements. This way, the launcher will only appear after a deliberate action (click or high-momentum hit) and will not get in the way when working in the left region of the screen.

+1 for point 2.

clickable edge will be like the hide buttons on the sides of the gnome panel.(Did anyone other than me use them?)

Regarding the high momentum movements, how about the launcher coming out not on mouse reaching left corner, but say 200px beyond (outside) the left edge?
