I presume you're talking about panels with "Autohide" set. If you have
the GUI gconf-editor installed, it's under apps/panel/global/panel_show_delay.
You can also set it from the command line:

      gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/global/panel_show_delay 500

(The default is 300, unit is milliseconds).

Thanks! My terminalogy was likely not correct. I was refering to the ...
"windows" for applications, which I've been calling "panels" (because
they are within my virtual windows).

Oh. I've always kept auto-raise turned off. I frequently have multiple
overlapping windows open, and sometimes raising the one I'm typing into
would hide something I need to see. (Yes, the part I'm typing into is
visible.)

The ... task bar(?) works just fine with autohide. As Fred correctly
divined, it was in one of the drop-downs under preferences. But I'll bet
you know the CL for that too. Since I'm an old CLI guy that prefers that
method, I'll be hunting starting from your hint.

In Gnome they're called "panels." Right-click in one and you'll see, "Add
to Panel," "Delete This Panel," etc. No, I don't know the CLI path for
the window auto-raise delay. Heck, I only found the one I posted by
searching for it in the gconf-editor GUI. I don't use that stuff anywhere
near often enough to remember it, just that it's in there, somewhere.
