There are a couple of dconf settings you can use to control the launcher auto-hide capabilities.
12.04 & 11.10
To make the launcher always visible:
dcom write /com/canonical/unity-2d/launcher/use-strut true
dcom write /com/canonical/unity-2d/launcher/hide-mode 1
12.04
In 12.04 you can control this behaviour in a GUI.
As the picture shows - firefox overlaps the launcher but the launcher doesnt hide because the default is not to autohide.

There is a tool named Unity 2D Settings made by Krytarik Raido for configuring Unity 2D. It wasn't working under Ubuntu 11.10; however, he updated the tool and now works under Ubuntu 11.10.
Install it through terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:krytarik/tuxgarage
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-2d-settings
Run this when you are logged in via Unity 2D.
