How do I hide the gnome panel completely? (not autohide) Basically, I have a triple monitor setup but only use dual monitor most of the time. Because the third monitor is off and is hdmi/displayport, linux moves the panels on that monitor to the second monitor.

I want a script that hide the gnome panel. You change the panel settings using gconftool-2 like below:

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/panel/toplevels/panel_1/monitor" --type integer 2 

The above command shows panel 1 on monitor 2. I tried to set it to show on monitor 3 which is powered off but it won't set because linux does not see a monitor 3 (hdmi/displayport tells linux the monitor is off unlike dvi).

So how do I hide the panel completely (not autohide)?
