I have a dual monitor setup going. I want to play a video (using SMplayer) on the second screen while using applications on the first screen. I have it working except for one annoying thing. When ever I switch focus from SMplayer to a different application on the other screen the Unity panel shows up above the video.
Is there anyway I can stop the panel from showing up when I switch focus to a different application?

You could try upgrading to 12.04, there have been many improvements to the way dual screens are handled, and you can control better how the launcher works with dual screen (on System Settings > Displays, and System Settings > Appearance > Behaviour). If it still doesn't work for you can you add more detail to the question please? I am not sure exactly what you are seeing. But try it in 12.04 first.
