Since the unity dock now defaults to being always visible, even with
maximized windows, I think the dock should lose its transparency (And
assume the same background color as the top panel) when a window is
maximized.

Currently with a maximized window, the transition between the top panel,
and the left edge of the maximized window is jarring and kind of ugly. This
should look much smoother and flow together better. Its especially bad if
you have a light colored desktop background.

When you have a maximized window open, you don't want distracting looking
panel transparency on the left side.
