Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I have been running twin view and separate xscreens modes for a while, but after upgrading to Jaunty (read installing it for scratch) I have found that in twin view mode - with one screen above another only (eg. laptop+TV) - the maximized windows get overlapped by the gnome-panel app, so that the windows titles and control buttons are not accessible, but hidden.
Related to the gnome-panel, too, is that the gnome-panel does not often hide itself when it should be expected: for instance, a maximized totem movie should make the gnome-panel automatically disappear; but this does not happen sometimes as well.
In twin view mode with one screen on the right, no problem gets shown.

The only way to solve these minor issues is to take the gnome-panel down and/or to hide it.

FYI: I only run one gnome-panel per screen, generally in the upper side in every my twin view configuration, vertical and horizontal.

AFAIK it is currently a Jaunty only problem, having never experienced it with previous releases.
