Alright, it's the Cool Special Kludge, written
after a long day filled with too many prawns on the barbie
(not to mention too many beers!), but I have to admit
it *does* work. :-)

And--a very nice feature for something this elegant--it
*also* keeps track of whether the user is auto-hiding the
task bar or not.

Cheers,

David

P.S. I hope you are passing the secret to this along to the
good folks at ITTVIS, Andrew. They could use something like this.
Hold out for the big bucks, though. Or, at the very lease, their
babe magnet of a T-Shirt. :-)
