Interesting, 4.0 was released without the ability to hide the task bar. Work wasn't started on added that until I pursued it.
I've never used it at all. The KDE taskbar is too useful to do without, and it takes up little enough space that I'd rather keep it visible than

Amazing...a
feature of KDE for a LONG time, and VERY much used feature (common sense dictates you gain real estate on the desktop) and it wasn't included in 4.0. No wonder we're missing features.
I also never hide the taskbar... plus... of all the KDE users I know.... none hide the task bar. It might be a useful feature to some people, but I didn't miss it when it wasn't included in KDE4... and there are a lot of others that didn't miss it.
Horses for courses, as the saying goes. When XP came out (?December 2001) I had a normal CRT monitor but I couldn't "wear" having the taskbar at the bottom with XP providing the option of Autohiding. I also discovered that I could have a totally clean desktop, without any icons of any religion, by creating specifically named Folders to contain the Shortcuts applicable to the name of the Folder (eg, Utilities, Audio, DVDs, etc). While the latter is something I am still to looking forward to be able to do in openSUSE at least with the taskbar being now being able to Autohide I am half happy :-) . The ability to Autohide the taskbar with a 4:3 monitor is not such "a big deal" but go to the digital windscreen monitor and the additional screen space is noticeable - if you are used to it and looking for it.
