Gnome panel autohide, then remains hidden

HI,

i am using update 5.8 on my desktop. After the update from 5.7 to 5.8 this issue has happened twice and the only way i know is to reboot the system.

I autohide the top gnome panel and every time i keep hibernating the system when i am not working on it. Twice before and presently now the top panel is not reappearing and neither are the ikons on it responding. What is the way out as i use 5 workspaces and have multiple windows open & so rebooting is irritating. There is no pattern to this buggy thing - just happens arbitrarily.

Thanks.
