that reminds me, struts and autohide panels don't always get along... 
when I plug in a usb drive or something, the device notifier pops up half an 
inch below the top of my screen, even though I never unhid the panel. why's it 
respecting a strut that doesn't exist?
and when I have grouped tasks and move my mouse into a group, the panel hides 
and leaves me with this floating tasklist... well, that one's really just a 
taskbar/panel bug, I guess.
I've seen funny things with regular panels and the dashboard, too - ideally we 
should ignore all struts when we call up the dashboard.
