I expect a hard time to tell your users that because the code is ugly one of 
the features s/he liked was dropped. 
Please understand that you are not only coding for nice code but for people 
who actually use the results. Removing a feature should have better reasons 
that ugly code in my opinion. 

If auto-hide would be done with non-overlapping toolviews you would get a 
redraw of the central area every time I open and close a toolview, right? So 
this is from the user perception totally different.
