Summary: Autohide broken

Initial Comment:
Happens with 1.3.6 as well as 1.2.31-1.2.37. I've got single TaskBar at the bottom of the screen with Show and Hide delays equal 0. Autohide works as expected (i.e. as in 1.2.30) only when some part of any window is beneath taskbar area. On empty desktop however bar doesn't hide. Such a behaviour could be considered as a feature (if there's nothing to cover, why to hide), but only if taskbar hides when some window does appear below it (e.g. a new one or after switching workspaces). Currently I have to mouse over and out the taskbar to make it disappear.

I've managed to resolve most of the issues concerning me (there are still
some glitches left but I can't reproduce them in a step-by-step manner) -
take a look at
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/packages/icewm/icewm-autohide.patch
for hints how to fix submenu problem.

Message:
Same for me with 1.3.7 on OpenSuse 11.3
Independently if Taskbar resides on top or bottom
Independently of the selected theme
Sliding over the taskbar or fast doublehit the Win-Key lets the taskbar
hide again

BUT: Problem ONLY subsist when starting a prog out of a submenu

Meaning: 
prog xterm xterm xterm directly in the menu-file -> start xterm -> 
taskbar autohides

prog xterm xterm xterm in a menu-folder within the menu-file -> start
xterm -> taskbar does not autohide

Happens with every prog or script or application that resides in a
menu-folder or included menufile within the menu-file itself
