XFWM4 *DOES* handle this properly, but it causes problems with other WM's After working with a Compiz developer, he's assured me it's a problem with XFWM4, and both the Gnome and KDE panels report 1279 as expected.

I forgot to mention, I refuse to emerge or run Gnome/KDE, so that's not a viable solution :)
That does sound like something is wrong. I'll have a look.
Should be fixed in SVN revision 25940. Hopefully we can do a new Xfce release soon.
