Newly opened apps overlap launcher and hide it (themes with window border>1px)

[Anders Kaseorg]

Binary package hint: unity

After selecting a theme other than Ambiance from Appearance Preferences (such as Clearlooks, in the gnome-themes-selected package), newly launched applications end up opening a tiny bit farther to left, because of the slightly wider window border, so that they overlap the Unity launcher panel by a few pixels. This triggers the launcher panel to autohide itself every time an application is launched.

intelli-hide is not a feature anymore, so the bug is not there anymore.
