Xfce 4.2 - How to set panel layer?

[roger]

Thanks for your explanation Jasper.

My (obviously wrong) understanding was that people couldn't get the panel on 
top layer, while mine was always so (that's why I was confused).

Also perharps Gnipper didn't know (as I didn't) how to move the panel from one 
screen edge to its opposite?!

Cheers,
Roger
