xfce panel disappears when running wine apps

I'm running xfce with nautilus as my desktop manager.  When I run most programs with wine, my bottom panel which is set to auto-hide disappears completely (it can't be brought up by moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen and the couple pixels it usually shows when hiding are gone).  I have to get it back by opening panel preferences from my top panel, unsetting auto-hide on the bottom panel, moving the bottom panel up and back down, closing panel preferences, re-opening it and resetting auto-hide on the bottom panel.  The bottom panel will disappear again the next time almost any wine program is run.  Aside from permanently disabling auto-hide on the bottom panel or never using wine, how can I stop this from happening?

Re: xfce panel disappears when running wine apps

No idea, but to make the fix easier you could try to use xfconf-query.

$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-0/autohide
false
$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-0/position
p=8;x=960;y=1178

That's good, but does anyone know how to stop this from happening in the first place?  Or is this a bug I should report?

This seems to have been fixed in the latest version.
