Feature Request: Expose Panel Entry Zone

Hi,
It seems that no matter where I decide to place my autohide panel, it inevitably gets in the way. I thought it would be a nice feature to be able to designate an area of a panel that when hovered with the mouse, would expose the entire panel. This way if you have a longer panel with lots of shortcuts, plugins, etc, you are only exposing a small, (user defined) area to to open the panel.

I doubt this would get lots of traction, but it sure would be helpful if used properly. You could always aim for a certain spot of the screen to open it and not have to worry so much about accidentally opening the panel.

Thank for the consideration.
