How can I remove or autohide to 0 the bottom Gnome panel from a remastered liveCD and autostart AWN (or any dock for that matter...) to replace it? , just as moonOS 4 (the distro that gave me the idea to try to do this)

Using this command to enable the auto hide

 gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/panel/default_setup/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide "true"

i Figured out how to Autostart AWN,however that involves removing BOTH panels, so im not quite there yet

Using UCK gconf-editor to manually edit the option to auto hide the bottom panel doesn't work, when testing the livecd BOTH panels are still there, even though i use the command and then run gconf-editor to check that the option is eneabled, which it is, however, once the livecd starts the autohide feature is disabled
