Title:
  Allow for the panel to be disabled (wishlist)

Status in Unity:

Bug description:
  This is definitely a wishlist bug, but it would definitely improve the
  flexibility of the Unity desktop. My basic issue is that I love the
  Unity dock, and the Ubuntu button that displays the Dash, but I'm not
  a fan of the global menu. Without the global menu the panel wastes a
  lot of space.

  My ideal desktop would use the Unity dock and dash, but instead of the
  Unity panel would use something like WingPanel (
  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/wingpanel-elementarys-slick-new-
  space-saving-panel/ )

  This has the advantage of saved vertical space without the use of the
  global menu. Allowing the panel to be switched off would increase the
  ability to innovate on top of the Unity desktop.

  For those reasons, I'd appreciate a gconf setting that disables the
  top panel.
