[Users] GoogleEarthPanel doesn't like to be hidden

[Matt Priour]

I had the same problem with a street view window in a tabbed interface. For 
some reason, using display:none/block to hide/show the flash containers 
(which is what both StreetView & the GE Viewer are) causes problems.

You need to switch the "hideMode" property on your GoogleEarthPanel config 
to "offsets"
That setting should fix your problem
