Completely hide gnome panels without deleting them

[fedoraslip]

Hello,

I am trying to completely hide the gnome panels on my desktop. When using auto-hide there is still a visible line of about 1 pixel, and the panels are still there anyways. I have gone into gconf-editor and changed the autohide size to 0 and it still doesn't completely hide it or make them so when i hover near them they don't appear. I am also not looking to completely delete the panels either. I went into gconf again and blanked out the required_components field, (didn't turn out the way i expected, lol), and had to start gnome-panel manually afterwards and lost a lot of functionality in the OS.

I found this tutorial last year for sending gnome-panel to the widget layer for Ubuntu, but cannot get it to work in Fedora.

jasny.net/articles/hide-gnome-panel

This works perfectly in Ubuntu (once you log-out), but it doesn't work in Fedora. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can this exact same thing to work in Fedora. It seems like it tries to work, but maybe my syntax is wrong or something. Thanks!

Fedora 14

->CompizConfig Settings Manager->Widget Layer->Behaviour-> + -> Grab -> *click on gnome panel (should read Gnome-panel) -> Add

Wait a bit it vanishes. Dont change anything about gnome-panel settings itself to hide.

Works for me.

F9 will toggle it off and on.

PS. In "Widget Windows" it has "class=Gnome-panel"

I had to take the parenthesis out Thanks for replying so i could see that you didn't use them, I was trying everything, lol.
