Fixing not autohiding panels
For XFCE 4.10
Sometimes, my panel's autohide feature stops working. This is especially annoying when I have a window that is obscured by the panel, or on a netbook, where real estate is limited.
The fix is simple, as reported by AskUbuntu:
xfce4-panel -r
This won't stop the problem from recurring, so hopefully they get this problem straightened out.
