How to autohide the Launcher in Unity 2D?

In the regular Unity 3D, I used Compiz Config Manager where I could configure the Unity Plug-in to autohide the Launcher and not to show it when moving mouse to the left side of the screen. So it was perfect for using Docky.

But in Unity 2D the Unity Plug-in settings doesn't have any effect. How can I completely hide the Launcher and just have it shown when pressing the windows-key?

With the following:

dconf write /com/canonical/unity-2d/launcher/hide-mode 1

dconf write /com/canonical/unity-2d/launcher/use-strut false

it still opens the Launcher when moving mouse to the left side of the screen. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.

For Ubuntu 12.04 there is an easy solution.

To make the launcher not appearing, you just have to rightclick on the Desktop and, klick background-preferences and there the 2nd tab.

enter code here

Here you have to check autohide and move the sensitivity to the very very left.

Then you have a full-screen experience like here:
