Hey Douglas,
I'm a developer on the Unity 2D team. Your second video showing the Launcher locked on screen is a massive bug,
but I'm using Unity2D every day and I've never experienced it (aside from this bug: [1] which isn't your issue).
Nor can I find any such report in Launchpad.

Would you mind answering a few questions:
1. Had you noticed a concrete way of reproducing this bug?
2. Does the Launcher behave correctly ever? As in, is the auto-hide working at the start, but then gets stuck?
3. This is stock Ubuntu install, or an upgrade?
4. Can you please tell me the model of the netbook you're using?
5. In a Terminal, please run
         dconf read /com/canonical/unity-2d/launcher/hide-mode
    and
         dconf read /com/canonical/unity-2d/launcher/use-strut
    and give me the shell output. These keys define the launcher's behaviour. I'd like to check that they're set ok.

We want our software to work properly for everybody, I am sorry you're having such a poor experience. Any assistance
you can give would be greatly appreciated.
-Gerry
