F10 will ship with 4.1.2 or 4.1.3, not 4.2. There's simply no way we can ship 
4.2 in F10 when it's not even in alpha yet, its alpha release is scheduled for 
the day of the final development freeze and the beta release for the day of the 
F10 release. We just cannot ship F10 with an alpha KDE (even a beta 1 would be 
bad, and there's no way we can rush that in anyway, even getting the tarballs 
early as packagers, because Fedora releases are cut some time before the 
official release date).

We're testing a backport of panel autohiding though. See the 
kdebase-workspace-4.1.2-5.fc10 package for F10 and the 
kdebase-workspace-4.1.2-5.fc9 package for F9 (note that you need the 4.1.2 
stuff from updates-testing to test that build). I can't promise yet that the 
feature will stay (we're still gathering feedback - if it's too broken, we'll 
have to revert it and wait for 4.2), but if it works out fine, it'll likely end 
up both released with F10 and pushed to the F9 updates.
