Comment 9 for bug 954446

Thanks for workaround David. This works for me. The problem is till persistent without using this workaround for me, however. So I wouldn't say it's fixed.

Can we agree that the panel should never displayed on top of fullscreen applications?

I figure the issue might be that dual screen use wasn't thought into Unity from the start (or at least not when deciding when to show the top panel), and since bringing another application to focus while watching a full screen video when you only have a single monitor isn't possible, it isn't an issue - until one uses a dual monitor setup where this indeed is possible.
