My guess is this is behaviour from before the 'Small' size was added to
the panel and was never changed. Perhaps it's CDE-like behaviour. There
are people on this list who should know the answer to that (Joe ?).

Possibly also a left-over from the days that xfce was only an add-on
panel (xfce 1 ?).

I wonder if it is possible to know if the panel is the
'session-controlling' app (I don't know how this is called)?
