Bug Description
The designers at the Gnome Usability Hackfest figured out that autohiding panels are a lot more useful when unhiding is velocity-sensitive. Basically the idea is that it's easy to tell when the user actually *wants* their panel, because they throw their mouse at the bottom of the screen. If their mouse just happens to touch the bottom of the screen while they are working, it does not unhide. This would even better for Docky, as users tend to auto-hide their docks much more than their panels.
