I am using the Unity launcher in the Gnome Classic desktop. How can I enable the autohide feature for the launcher?
Background information:
I reverted to Gnome Classic Desktop as described here: How to revert to GNOME Classic Desktop?
Next, I start unity-2d-shell
as described here: Ubuntu 12.04 Gnome Classic and Unity Launcher

You need
dconf-editor
(sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
).There, go to com => canonical => unity-2d => launcher:
Set
hide-mode
to 1. Instantly, the launcher will hide!More detailed information can be found here: How do I configure Unity 2D?, especially this answer for 12.04: https://askubuntu.com/a/105682/55343
