Cheers for the tip, I recently set up panel on the inner edge of a multiscreen
desktop, blissfully unaware of the long history of this issue. Putting a
completely transparent tint2 panel below the plasma panel and the Strut Policy
"follow_size" corrects the overlap. 

Could anyone please explain (to a complete layperson in the area of WMs) why
the overlap is not at all an issue for this non-plasma panel?
