Thank you Clem for sorting out the mess called Gnome 3
I highly appreciate your effort and this is not a complaint. I am just reporting an issue trying to help you to make the software even better.

I have updated to Cinnamon 1.2
I have set the bottom panel to "autohide"
When I select "start menu" by clicking on Menu in bottom left corner the menu is displayed. After a short moment the bottom panel auto-hides and leaves "orphaned" menu. I do not think that panel should autohide while menu is displayed. Other desktop environments that I use do not do this and it looks weird. But, obviously "severity" of this issue is very low.
