I am closing this bug since autohide works just fine with gnome-panel.

Your issue is with Unity's menu bar which is not gnome-panel. It is a
Ubuntu design decision that the menu bar not autohide; in fact it would
make the menu bar much harder to use if it supported that. If you have a
problem with an app running fullscreen, I suggest you file a bug against
the specific app that isn't working right.

Title:
  Top panel no longer autohides and cannot be closed

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to 11.04 and Unity, I have been experiencing the
  following problems:

  Top panel will no longer autohide, and there seems to be no way to reenable it.
  Close/hide button is missing from top panel - thus it cannot be removed
  There seems to be no way to add or delete applets from the bar any more.

  The fact that the top panel can no longer be hidden makes some
  programs unusable or hard to use (any program which uses full screen
  and has buttons at the top of the screen - for example _vmware
  player_).  Therefore this bug should be marked as critical importance.
