If 'guys' are 'maintainers', then yes. :)
Hmm... A much better description.
Kevin and I are the only two maintainers, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Xfce
I'm also involved in Xfce upstream a little, I am leading the German
translation team, take care of the bug tracker and contributed some
patches, but I wouldn't dare calling myself an Xfce developer.

Look for the second panel. You should be able to identify it by
looking at the list of items in the panel. Then look for the line
that includes the propery "position" and change it as given in my
example. But this is just a dirty hack and I'm not sure it will
work.
Meanwhile I found the solution. I had to ask Nick (xfce4-panel's
author) on IRC because it is everything but intuitive: 1. Create a
panel and push it to the bottom/top/left side/right side of the
screen. 2. Try to center it and then carefully drag it along the
edge. 3. When you have hit the middle, it snaps and stays in the
middle
Thank you for than. I will try as so as possible.
Now we have the solution we were looking for, but unfortunately not
on the Xfce mailing list. I will post it there, too, but now you
understand why I wanted the thread to continue there.
Kind regards, Christoph
I understood what before but I did not seem to be having much luck
there. Often the major part of my problem is knowing just how to ask.
One thousand years ago in a college calculus class (late '60s early
'70s) we were asked "Do you have any questions before the assignment?"
No one raised there hands but me. I said that my question was that I
understood so little this assignment that I di *not* know what
question(s) to ask. made me 'friends' with the prof and he was 'softer'
from there on. :-)
