There's no gconf-key named auto_hide_size in ~/.gconf. I've found the key in a gconf schema in file /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-toplevel.schemas (default is 6px), and it shows up in gconf-editor under schemas. But it's apparently not applied to the panel prefs. It might be intended to go into /apps/panel/profiles/default/toplevels, maybe there is an error in the panel migration? Gabriel Wicke
