still trying to lock xfce...

[Jasper Huijsmans]

Hey Alvise,

You need a so-called session controlling app. This means the last
application started in /etc/xfce4/xinitrc must not have an '&' appended.

So if you want to remove the panel, you need to run something else as
session controlling application.

So I suggest you (1) remove the 'xfdesktop &' line, (2) replace
'xfce4-panel' with xfdesktop.

That should work.
