I don't use GNOME, but I'll take a guess at the reason for this: the
GNOME panel requests that it be placed on top (like the StaysOnTop
function in database), and that it not be covered by other windows (like
the AvoidCover function). There is no way that I know of to prevent
these requests from being carried out, except to not run the Gnome
module, which would result in the GNOME panel refusing to run.

Bind ToggleLayer to a mouse/keypress action in your feel file, and use
that to move the focus window above/below the GNOME panel.
