Hi all,

I just updated to 11.04, and I want to lock the left panel, how to do it? Auto hiding is not convenient...

Thanks

Many ways -
you can install compizconfig-settings-manager, then Alt+F2, type in
about:config
That will take you directly to the unity plugin settings in compiz
!Beware that enabling or disabling some other plugins in ccsm can unset all the plugins which can be a pita if your not aware of what should be set.

Or open gconf-editor and r.click on and 'edit' the settings there - screen shows location (look at key name

Or for just those 2 - in terminal
For launcher never hide

gconftool-2 -s -t integer /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/launcher_hide_mode 0

For icon size - adjust blue, the range is 32 - 64, the default is 48

gconftool-2 -s -t integer /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/icon_size 36
