Icons instead of taskbar possible?

[Chris Green]

Can I turn the taskbar off completely and have icons instead?

After my recent upgrade from 3.x.x to 4.0.1 I find that the taskbar is
just an irritation.  With the Xfce panel at the top and with other
things floating about there too the taskbar popping up (with
auto-hide set) is just a nuisance.

I see there's something called "Lil'Star Iconbox" but when I minimise
applications they just seem to go to the taskbar, I'd much prefer them
to go to the Iconbox.
