This isn't a ROX or a GNOME or a KDE issue -- it has to do with the
window manager you use (the former are all desktop environments, which
are a layer higher than the WM). Theoretically, if you use a NETWM
compliant window manager, panels/docks/etc. that have the correct WM
hints shouldn't be maximized over (unless you specify that this is the
behavior you desire).

XFWM4 is good about this, and I believe metacity and openbox also follow
spec properly.
