Sorry I cannot find how to edit my initial text:

I didn't finish one sentence:
"- Need to be able to switch "
=>
"- I need to be able to switch on/off a proxy when I move my laptop from cable
(on) to wifi (off). 
    * As I didn't find a convenient way to do that with XFCE (*), I wrote a 2
scripts : one that toggles the proxy system-wide by creating/removing the empty
/tmp/PROXY_ACTIVATED file, the other that sets/unsets the http[s]_proxy env
variables (according to the existence or not of the /tmp/PROXY_ACTIVATED file)
then run the command passed as argument.
   * Then, I need the launchers of firefox/thunderbird/falkon/chrome to execute
the "command" field via this script rather than directly"

Apart from the panels crashes, this settings works perfectly.

I provide all this information for 2 reasons:
- as I think my using of scripts (user owned & executable, full path used in
launcher's command field) in the "command" field of launcher might be the
source of the trouble for the panels
- (*) other people confronted with proxies might be interested by the settings,
since XFCE lacks simple way to manage it (editing "connections" proposes only
"None" or "Automatic" as proxy settings...).
