Idea #6412: Make more screen space available.

It's currently difficult to free up the interface dead space for applications that can benefit from more content space. Often the panels and title bar of the application serve little immediate purpose, but take up a lot of the relatively valuable vertical space. This is especially relevant with Ubuntu defaulting to having top and bottom panels that stay on top of windows.
One way to free up this space temporarily is to enable full-screen mode for the main application, but it's quite intrusive, and doesn't allow any way for notifications to show at all. You can enable hide/auto-hide on panels, but there it's difficult to switch quickly between compact and full mode. Even there, if you want a notification area, you are still stuck with losing a full panel height and titlebar height from the whole screen- just for 50x24 pixels of icons.
