	Following on from this spot, changing the "Visibility" from "Always
Visible" to "Autohide" to "Windows Can Cover" to "Windows Go Below" sees
the variable

	[PlasmaViews][Panel 1][Horizontal1680] -> panelVisibility

change from 0 to 3 depending upon the option chosen, 0 being "Always
Visible" and so on. In my case, my screen is 1680 wide, hence the label
name. It should be noted that this is not an instantaneous change, the
file appears to be rewritten periodically, every 30sec/1min or so.

	The question now becomes, the variable is being changed but why doesn't
the Task Bar respect the change? Time to write a bug report?
