Tweaking Gnome Panel

My HTPC is a Linux box running Ubuntu 10.04 and I love it. To give it a more couch-friendly interface, it's now running Avant Window Navigator. I wanted to keep the top Gnome Panel available but hidden with a 1 second unhide time. To tweak these settings, do the following:

1. Open gconf-editor.


2. Navigate to /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0.


3. Enable auto_hide.


4. Set unhide_delay to 1000.
