Your best option (according to me atleast) is to increase the Edge Reveal Timeout option in the Ubuntu Unity Plugin in the Compiz Config Settings Manager. That will reveal the Launcher Bar only after the designated time.
Compiz Config Settings Manager is not installed by default. Click on the link or you could also alternatively run the following to install the package via a terminal (Default keyboard shortcut: CtrlAltT)
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ccsm
After that open it and scroll down to Ubuntu Unity Plugin and then increase the Edge Reveal Timeout.
