If this "feature" is going to be implemented, it should be configurable. If you are only using a mouse (or stylus on a Tablet PC), then you would have no way to reach the panel in full-screen mode. The better solution would be if plasma developers would implement the much requested panel delays, and have it increased when in full-screen mode.

In a related note, I also find it odd that the auto-hide panel does not go above "Keep Above Others" windows, but that may be intended. An auto-hide panel is a temporary window like a menu, so it should not be covered by anything except other such menus.
