If you have the GUI gconf-editor installed, it's under apps/panel/global/panel_show_delay. You can also set it from the command line: gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/global/panel_show_delay 500 (The default is 300, unit is milliseconds). -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.

My terminalogy was likely not correct. I was refering to the ... "windows" for applications, which I've been calling "panels" (because they are within my virtual windows). The ... task bar(?) works just fine with autohide. As Fred correctly divined, it was in one of the drop-downs under preferences. But I'll bet you know the CL for that too. Since I'm an old CLI guy that prefers that method, I'll be hunting starting from your hint.>Thanks for taking the time! It helps a lot. Bill

I've always kept auto-raise turned off. I frequently have multiple overlapping windows open, and sometimes raising the one I'm typing into would hide something I need to see. (Yes, the part I'm typing into is visible.)> The ... task bar(?) works just fine with autohide. As Fred correctly > divined, it was in one of the drop-downs under preferences.

Right-click in one and you'll see, "Add to Panel," "Delete This Panel," etc. No, I don't know the CLI path for the window auto-raise delay. Heck, I only found the one I posted by searching for it in the gconf-editor GUI. I don't use that stuff anywhere near often enough to remember it, just that it's in there, somewhere. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
