Autohide & Edge Flipping

With Red Hat 7.3 updated with Ximian Gnome-2 and Sawfish for the window
manager, if I set my edge panel to autohide and I have edge flipping
turned on, the panel is never unhidden with a mouse over. I had four
workspaces with edge flipping and I had to remove edge flipping to get
the panel back.

On another box with Red Hat 7.3 and no Ximian except what came with the
distro auto hide works just fine with four viewports and edge flipping.
Just bringing the cursor near the edge caused the panel to unhide.

So far I am not at all that impressed with Gnome 2 though it did, at
first, seem to be a move in the right direction. I also am a bit
confused about what is going on with Metacity vs Sawfish. For now I
think I would rather put up with Sawfish's bloat than Metacity's crashes
and severe lack of features.

I will continue play with Gnome-2 on a spare box, but I won't be using
it for any mission critical applications until it is MUCH more stable
and mature. I am not sure if I would buy the next Red Hat or Mandrade
releases if Gnome-2 is the desktop environment.

Regards,
Kurt
