autohidden Gnome-Panel(on the left/right side of the screen) won't unhide when "Rotate Cube"-Plugin is active

It seems to be the same problem which was discussed and fixed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=705269

when the "Desktop Wall" Plugin is enabled everything works as expected.
The Problem only occurs when enabling the "Rotate Cube" Plugin.

Seems to be a problem with the "desktop switching on drag" capability of the plugin ;)

Just thought I would post to say I can confirm this issue. I posted a bug as well, then noticed this one. Mine has been marked as a duplicate.

I am having an issue where my panel seems to not reappear after autohide, this only happens if I am using the cube. If I disable the cube then it starts to show properly again. Additionally, if I turn autohide off, then I can get to the panel fine, however I do notice that a right click seems to take two clicks.

Here is a video showing the issue:

Added my bug report #321698 as a duplicate too. I can reproduce this on today's daily live cd of Jaunty Jackalope,

There are a couple of unresolved upstream bugs and duplicates too.

One way to work around the problem is setting "Rotate Flip Left/Right" of the "Rotate Cube" plugin to nothing (no edges). However then windows cannot be dragged to other desktops anymore.
