Build Identifier: 

The XFCE panel is always on top of other windows, even when it shouldn't be. I was playing starcraft via wine (fullscreen) and the panels were on top. I was watching fullscreen video with VLC and the panels were on top.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Install XFCE
2) Install VLC
3) Watch a video and full-screen it
Actual Results:  
video plays full screen, but panels are still visible

Expected Results:  
video plays full screen, panels are not visible

workaround that I use is 'killall -9 xfce4-panel && (whatever app here) && xfce4-panel &'

This is not a panel issue but more an xfwm4 problem. The real problem is probably vlc not telling the window manager it is full screen, but only maximizing the window. What happens when you fullscreen with Alt + F11 (or right-click the window border and select fullscreen)?

Closing bug, not our problem.
