When a window is in 'fullscreen' mode on a multi-monitor output, then the unity top panel should stay hidden unless another (non fullscreen) window on that monitor is given the focus.
Currently, should the fullscreen window lose focus, then the unity panel takes precedence and goes on top, regardless of which monitor the newly focussed window is on.
My use case is this:
2 monitors being used with some presentation software (opensong) which has 2 windows - the presentation fullscreen window to show on the projector, and a control window to show on the other monitor.
Currently as soon as a user clicks in the control window, the presentation window having lost focus then has the panel appear over it - degrading the experience for the audience. This can be restored by clicking on the fullscreen window to give focus back to it, but really the operator should stay working within their control window to control what is being presented.
