I've never seen anyone use it under kde (ok, I presently only interact with half a dozen or so linux users). I haven't even seen many people use it under Windows, whose taskbar is really of very little use compared to kde's, and whose disappearance would cause no discomfort at all.
I always have my taskbar hidden. In fact, I always have all four of my panels hidden (except on one box I have one of four panels showing). I also interect with several KDE users, all of whom autohide their taskbars. So clearly, there is some number of KDE users > 6 who autohide their taskbars. ;-)
I find the extra screen real estate to be quite a benefit.
This is one missing feature (among many others),
AAAAAARGH!
Nobody listens to me :'( .
It *IS* available (at least now but wasn't at the start).
Right-click on the taskbar, select Panel Settings, then select More Settings and select Autohide.
Simple, no?
Not exactly.
Auto hide is NOT the same as having a button to hide it when needed, which is what this sub-thread started out about.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding what I have been reading but one can hide the taskbar using a "button" (its at either the left- or the right-hand side depending on your choice of setup). But why bother with this additional selection of a button when the taskbar can Autohide and be brought up by simply taking the cursor to the bottom of the screen?
