[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 382708] Re: docky in auto-hide mode only re-appears if user mouses over width of docky panel

[cometdog]

I prefer the existing behavior:  it reduces the chances of the bar
getting in the way when I don't want it.  And if I actually want to
scrub the dock or the launchers and click on something, I will have to
move my mouse to where the dock is anyway.

Please don't change this without including a preference to achieve the
existing behavior.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-do

With docky auto-hiding enabled, the user must currently move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to cause docky to be un-hidden. 

However, with current behaviour, the user must actually also have the mouse within the boundary defined by the width of docky when it was previously displayed to successfully trigger un-hiding.

In contrast, Dock.app on the mac allows the user to move the mouse to anywhere along the bottom of the screen to cause the dock to be re-displayed. This behaviour would seem to be more intuitive and docky should ideally replicate it.
