this seems to be a frequently not answered question. i am using a 
keybinding to a small script to kill the panel:

<-- snip -->
#!/bin/sh
# close xfce4-session by killing xfce4-panel :-(

kill -SIGTERM `ps | awk '/xfce4-panel$/ { print $1}'`
<-- snap -->

this will only work if the xfce4-panel is the last thing you started in 
your .xinitrc.
any better solutions would be appreciated.
