Comment 93 for bug 930148

"1.) I don't think launcher should Dodge to Windows that are not maximized. It should act exactly the same as never hide mode does and only be hidden when one or more window(s) are maximized. There is nothing hard to understand here for the user it does exactly what it is supposed to to if it does this reliably?"

Totally agreed. This is just what intellihide means.

"2.) Desktop icons should not jump to the edge. They should stay exactly in the same position from never hide mode."

Again, I completely agree.

"3.) This one is a bit tricky. What should happen to the windows on the desktop. Should they be moved around on triggering hide/show and should they be "positioned inside launcher area" when launcher is hidden and "aero snap" is used?"

I think implementing sophistication in a script is a bit too ambitious. Sure, ideally the launcher should intellihide when you tile your windows to cover the whole screen, and maybe some other cases, but this introduces a complexity that is beyond the basic need: just hide the launcher when at least one window is maximized, so you can concentrate on the work at hand a make use of the most screen real estate, especially on netbooks.
