Bug Description

While in dual screen, using "xrandr --output VGA --above LVDS --auto --output LVDS --auto", bottom part of maximized windows are hidden by bottom panel.
Didn't use to be such a big deal, but since disabling ability to move panels around in 9.04, it has forced me to delete bottom panel.

lspci -nn |grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03)

Same here.

It's annoying. I'm also using a VirtualBox VM for work in seamless mode, and the Windows taskbar of course also is hidden behind the gnome panel (or the other way around).

I found a bug description for Fedora (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433739), that tells that this problem occurs when you got a panel between the two screens.

So a workaround would be to have the panel on the side — but that's not very practicable.

Would be great if this bug could be fixed.
