  Problem description
  Setting the top panel (either the default top_panel_screen0 or a new one - let's call it panel_1) to not expand (i.e. expand is not ticked in panel properties or in gconf-editor apps/panels/toplevels/panel_1) and set to auto-hide (i.e. auto-hide is ticked) results in the panel not auto-hiding.

  Expected behaviour
  Panels should be compact and auto-hide.  Ideally, top_panel_screen0 will be set to not auto-hide and always be visible.  Panel_1 will be off to the right and auto-hide when not brought to focus.  This is the behaviour on the other machine.

  Possible differences between this and the system where it does work.

  This is a MacBook Pro 2.2 running Meerkat
  The other machine is a Dell Latitude 801 running Meerkat
  This machine has an external monitor (screen1)
  The other machine does not
