tint2 won't overlay with fullscreen

I am trying to get tint2 to work like most panels with autohide -- overlay the top window. However, with xcompmgr running and my panel settings:

# Panel
panel_monitor = all
panel_position = bottom left horizontal
panel_size = 60% 30
panel_margin = 0 0
panel_padding = 7 0 7
panel_dock = 0
wm_menu = 0
panel_layer = top
panel_background_id = 1

When I start tint2 I get:

real transparency on... depth: 32
xRandr: Found crtc's: 3
xRandr: Linking output LVDS1 with crtc 1
tint2 : nb monitor 1, nb monitor used 1, nb desktop 9

Yet it still pushes the bottom of my windows up instead of going over them -- but only when the windows are in fullscreen. When I make the window take up most of the screen, the panel will overlay just fine.

I am using the Openbox wm. I currently have conky using my dock and haven't yet found a way to create a second dock for tint2, which I know would work because conky has no problem overlaying windows in fullscreen.  Anyone know how to get this to work? Thanks!
