Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources It is nearly impossible to add an applet to a panel with autohide. The panel disappears when the "Add widget"-dialog appears and does not reappear while dragging to the edge of the screen. I see two solutions: 1. The panel appears while dragging a widget to the edge of the screen. 2. All autohide panels are shown when the "Add widget"-dialog is opened. Personally I prefer the second solution.
