How to change AWN auto-hide speed?

Asked by Mantas Zimnickas

How can I change speed of AWN dock hiding, when auto-hide is turned on? Now it hides very slow.
It would be really great if dock shows up instantly, just moving mouse to the same bottom. Also it would be better if dock shows only if mouse moved to a specified area at the bottom. Now if you move mouse any where at the bottom of screen, dock chows up.

To change the auto hide speed, you have to change an option that is not configurable in awn-manager. To change it, use either gconf-editor or gconftool-2 to change the value of the key /apps/avant-window-navigator/auto_hide_delay. This value controls the time (in milliseconds) for the dock to wait to hide when the cursor leaves the dock. It's used only when /apps/avant-window-navigator/auto_hide is TRUE (which is configurable via awn-manager).

I would also like this to be added to the awn-manager
