Bug Description
Some presentations are given full screen on the second monitor while someone is still working on another screen. Many people use lyricue for example. But the panel is very distractive being always on top, thus making unity unacceptable for presentations.

I experience the unwanted top panel when using LibreOffice Impress with an external projector for the audience view.
It would be helpful to be able to remove the top panel from a secondary monitor, in a similar manner to the way one can now specify that the launcher doesn't appear on a given monitor. This would give a cleaner screen before and after presentations.
When the presentation runs, the presenter view (console) shows on the laptop and the audience sees just the current slide on screen. However, I find that although the slide expands to full screen, the shadow of the now invisible top panel is superimposed on the slide. This is clearly a problem.
If I click within the external display, that shadow disappears from the audience view, and appears on the presenter view. When I click on the presenter view on the laptop screen, the shadow returns to the audience view...
Possibly a separate bug, but would almost certainly be fixed (for the audience view) by implementing this wishlist feature.
