andyrock, another solution for this problem would be to automatically make Fullscreen-windows be "Always On Top". When toggling fullscreen this status should be reverted to the previous state...

To test this solution, simply start a video with your favorite player, turn "Always On Top" on for your videoplayer window and fullscreen it afterwards. Now click somewhere into your second monitor. Normally in this case the panel would show up on-top of the running video on your first monitor, but not if the player has been set to be on top first...

WORKAROUND FOR THIS BUG:
Turn "Always On Top" on via right-clicking the titlebar of your window, before making it go fullscreen.
This will prevent the Unity panel from rendering on top of this fullscreen-window, when using the other screen.
