Summary:                    xfwm maximises windows over the panel/the panel doesn't stop this happening
Description: 
This is Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/254523

Not sure if this is xfwm4's fault or the panel's fault but either way when
you maximise a window and your panel is set to be on top (which is the
default) it gets maximised behind the panel.  It doesn't get maximised
behind the taskbar.

I'm not sure if this relates to the discussion on the -dev list about
partial struts etc.

Let me know if this is going to be fixed in the 4.0.x branch.

aThanks.

assuming i'm understanding you correctly, for 4.0.x this is normal
behavior.  to avoid this, the user needs to use workspace margins.  i
don't think partial struts are going to be backported to 4.0.x.

This is not a bug, as the panel doesn't set/use struts (in 4.0 branch).

That's why we added the margins to xfwm4, so please use the margins.
