I prefer to set the panel to autohide (not allowing other windows to cover
it. This way it is gone most of the time, but if I specifically need it
(i.e., for those rare times I'm having a problem with mythtv), all I need
to do is to move the (invisible :-) mouse to the bottom of the screen and
the panel pops up, allowing me to select the mythbackend terminal window
to see what is happening. :-)
