I don't like the taskbar either. The only alternative to xftaskbar is
xfce4-iconbox. In order to activate it, you'll need to copy the xinitrc file
from /etc/xfce4/ (sometimes it's under /usr/etc or /usr/local/etc) to your
~/.xfce4 directory. Edit it and comment out the line with 'xftaskbar4' in it and
uncomment the line with 'xfce4-iconbox'.

If you don't like the iconbox either, you'll have to use rox-filer or Alt-Tab to
hidden windows.
