Are dconf values for 'top-panel' and 'bottom-panel' used by Gnome Shell?

  • 772
  • Gnome Shell 3.6.2
  • Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit

/org/gnome/gnome-panel/layout/toplevels/bottom-panel has several options theoretically to customize the behavior of Gnome panels.

I tried to set that the bottom bar is showed faster and that it is automatically hidden. For this I changed the settings as shown below in the screenshot:

I restarted the Gnome environment with Alt+F2+R, but it doesn't work.

    The answer is: no, they aren't used by Gnome Shell.

    The reason is simple: those settings are for gnome-panel and gnome-panel is not part of Gnome Shell, it is part of the so-called Gnome Fallback (or Gnome Classic).

    If you want a proof to be 100% sure, download the source code of both gnome-panel and gnome-shell:

    apt-get source gnome-panel gnome-shell

    and then look for a property:

    grep -r unhide-delay

    You'll see that all results come from the gnome-panel package.
