Comment 28 for bug 130235

This has been stated in numerous other places but since it appears that it hasn't been said in this bug...

1) The current awn architecture means that the current autohide is hackish. There are _numerious_ issues. It was added after the fact.
2) No one has stepped forward to try to fix autohide with the current architecture. My guess is those with knowledge of 1) assume that it really isn't fixable with the current architecture. Chances are individual issues can probably be resolved but the "fixes" would probably lead to new issues.

The 0.4 rewrite has significant architecture changes that should lead to a more usable autohide. Don't expect any significant changes/improvements in autohide before then.
