If a user prefers to have their unity bar fixed (not set to autohide) then
the close, minimize, and maximize buttons are offset to the left.  It
disjoints the experience.  Why not have the Unity Bar take preference
before the gnome panel.  Users with a fixed bar will not be forced to deal
with the offset and users with an autohide bar will have the gnome panel
expand to fill the space left by the, now hidden, unity bar.

Has this been taken into account?  I think I read somewhere that the bar
will be fixed by default now.
