hmm, what is it you are trying to do. It sound like you are wanting
something like the noleft setting used in APP_OPTIONS declarations,
but for the bottom of the screen.

Why not just set the apps you dont want hidden to inhibit_hide=true
for each app. with APP_OPTIONS declarations.

something like no bottom would make the desktop more unusable,
especially on 640x480 screen sizes, but may be nice on 1600x1280 or
1800x1440, etc
