Hi rave002,
Panel autohide has always sorta been bugged. It'll work for a good long time then will get 'stuck' down. Easiest band-aid ‘fix’ is to hit ALT+F1 which will pull up the menu. Then turn off autohide, then turn it back on. It’ll then usually work for awhile again. Eventually it just annoyed me (it generally takes long enough to ‘break’ again that I forget about ALT+F1), so I now just leave the panel always visible, but allow apps to be visible over the panel.

I feel the same about KDE. I tried the latest KDE last spring, but it couldn't read my TDE mailbox, just kept crashing KMail. Nor could I figure out how to change the background for each desktop.
If you’re looking for an easy OS to use with TDE, you might try MX Linux. I, and several others on this list, have been using it for years (6? 9?). See the Wiki for install instructions, and Thierry has a premade remix as well.
Welcome to TDE!
Best, Michael
