If you're running xfce4-session, just kill the panel and exit, making
sure you save the session while doing so.

If not, the file you want to edit is ~/.xfce4/xinitrc (if you're using
4.0.x) or ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc (the new standard, employed in the 4.2
branch).  If it's not there, copy it over from somewhere in /etc
(depending on your distrobution).  You'll have to change the
session-controlling app (maybe make it xfwm4), as the panel is such that
if you kill it, you kill the session (but only if you're not using
xfce4-session). :)

Cheers,
