Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Having the auto-hide option is very handy, but intellihide always seemed to work better. The only reason I want auto-hide is so I can have back those 58 (or so) pixels occupied by the launcher.
* On my 1024x600 screen I can have a full 1024 pixels for my web browser
* If the only window in view doesn't need the full width (say and empathy chat window) I want the launcher still there for quick access.
* It makes it easier to see at a glance what apps are running and switch between apps
* Helps w/ workspace switcher as I don't have to go into the upper-left corner then down to workspace switcher
* Unity doesn't change modes if I switch to a larger external monitor where most (if not all) windows don't need to be maximised
Basically, I want the launcher visible unless I need that space.

I think intelli-hide is the plan of record.
