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.

But exactly auto-hide panel blocks area, where it should be, and doesn't appear or react on mouse events at all. Events are lost, the panel doesn't appear and the area the panel shoud cover is unresponsive.

Oh, I confused "full-screen" with "fully maximized" again. I just checked, and indeed input is blocked by the panel helper window.
