XFce settings are applied immediately from the settings manager and for
changing 'hidden' xfwm option I don't think we should provide an obvious
way to restart; they are hidden for a reason. Personal opinion, though.

If you don't use a settings manager it will simply quit the panel. If
you do use a settings manager it asks the session manager to quit. I
don't know how to do either with a keyboard shortcut, 'killall
xfce4-panel' may work for the first case, although you won't have an
exit dialog.
