How to completely Hide Ubuntu Desktop panels

Ever wondered about hiding desktop panels for the Gnome desktop environment?
Sure you are, but you surely found disappointing that the panels don't stay completely hidden.
Let me explain: using the Windows desktop I use to keep the task-bar hidden and the only thing you can see when it's hidden is a very thin strip (about 2 pixels).
The Gnome panels instead stay only partially hidden (a strip about 6 pixels wide remains visible).
This Ubuntu forum topic explains how to change this (very annoying) setting, by using the powerful Gnome configuration editor (gconf-editor).
