** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-panel
  
- -You should be able to make an auto hidden panel show up when you mouse over the edge of the hidden panel. 
+ -You should be able to make an auto hidden panel show up when you mouse over the edge of the hidden panel.
  -Instead of the above described behavior which can be observed with the bottom and the top panel, a right and/or the left panel stays hidden no matter what you do.
  Steps to reproduce:
- 1)Create a new panel
- 2)Right click on it and open properties
- 3)Set orientation to be right or left (side panels)
- 4)Select autohide
- 5)Close the 'Panel Properties' window
+ 1)Go to System->Preferences->Appearance ->Visual Effects and select 'Extra'
+ 2)Make sure that you have installed the Advanced CompizConfig Settings Manager package.
+ 3)Go to System->Preferences->Appearance ->CompizConfig Settings Manager and enable "Desktop Cube" and "Rotate Cube"
+ 4)Create a new panel
+ 5)Right click on it and open properties
+ 6)Set orientation to be right or left (side panels)
+ 7)Select autohide
+ 8)Close the 'Panel Properties' window
  (the panel should hide now)
- 6)Try to 'mouse over' the panel to make it show up.
- It just won't show up. 
+ 9)Try to 'mouse over' the panel to make it show up.
+ It just won't show up.
+ 10)Try to check-uncheck the options "Edge Flip Pointer", "Edger Flip Move", "Edge Flip DnD" in the submenu for the "Rotate Cube" effect and attempt to unhide the hidden panel. In my case nothing changed this way.
  The only way to see an auto hidden side panel is to right click on a launcher from an other panel, select move and move it to the hidden panel.
