Comment 7 for bug 631696

@Oliver, only the visual cues are lost. The window menu is directly accessible via Alt-space, window control functions are also accessible via their shortcut keys (e.g. Alt-F4 to close), and I can also use the mouse/touchpad with Window List in the bottom panel to view full window titles with hover and access the window menus with a right-click. Window switching can be done with the keyboard (e.g. Alt-tab) or with the mouse/touchpad (Window List). I set both top and bottom panels to auto-hide, and with netbook screen resolutions it's only a moderate mouse/touchpad movement to show them.
