 Some extra information:
 I've just discovered that "Maximize Window Vertically" seems to
 work OK if the panel has been hidden (properties: show hide
 buttons checked), at least for epiphany and gnome-terminal.
 What's more, the windows correctly shrink to accommodate the
 panel moving back into place.   So the problem only seems to
 arise when the panel is fixed (no manual hiding).  Hmm.
 Auto-hide is problematic too, because the exposed panel overlaps
 the tops of the windows underneath.  Maybe the non-hiding panel
 is being treated as though it were a permanently-exposed
 auto-hide panel?
 
 Hey: the panel can go on the right hand side, now: just like my
 Mac.  With it located there, Maximize Window Vertically works
 like a charm.  Consider this to be a work-around!
