I presume you're talking about panels with "Autohide" set. If you have the GUI gconf-editor installed, it's under apps/panel/global/panel_show_delay. You can also set it from the command line:
gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/global/panel_show_delay 500(The default is 300, unit is milliseconds).
Thanks! My terminalogy was likely not correct. I was refering to the ... "windows" for applications, which I've been calling "panels" (because they are within my virtual windows).
Oh. I've always kept auto-raise turned off. I frequently have multiple overlapping windows open, and sometimes raising the one I'm typing into would hide something I need to see. (Yes, the part I'm typing into is visible.)
I've traditionally done that, too. but 2 or 3 years ago I decided to try it, with a 1 second delay, and found I (mostly) like it. Odd.
