Excellent tip!! Thanks for the simple guide to truly hiding the gnome-panel without removing it.

Todd: You shouldn’t need to restart, the change should instantly move the panel to the widget layer. Make sure the widget layer is enabled.

If this doesn’t work, click on the big ‘+’ behind the ‘Widget Windows’ field. Select ‘Type’ is ‘Window class’ and press the ‘Grab’ button behind the ‘Value’ field. Click on the toolbar with the cross-hair. The ‘Value’ field should get a value. Than click on ‘Add’.

I added the ‘type=Dock’ entry because don’t want the menu to appear in the widget layer when I press Super+F1. You can omit this though.

Hey I followed all the instructions here and my gnome panel is still not ‘in the widget layer’ as far as I can tell.

What else do you have to do ? restart maybe, after making the changes with ccsm ??
