auto-hide on by default

[satchitb at gmail.com]

When you say multi-touch, do you mean tablets? Because Unity is fine for
multi-touch trackpads.

Despite the numerous accusations (to the point of trolling), I never got the
impression that Ubuntu was heading for the tablet route. I think a few
Chinese companies have released tablets running Ubuntu with Unity, but if
I'm not wrong, a Canonical employee at one point actually denied that Ubuntu
was focusing on expanding into the tablet market. I'll really have to search
for this comment; it may well be an offhand remark, or the view of that
developer, but I'm fairly certain it was said.
