I don't know of the bug. What version of Xfce are you using?

You can restart the panel by running 'pkill -USR1 xfce4-panel' in a terminal.
That way yo udon't have to restart X.

Restarting the wm doesn't sound like a useful option to me at all, unless
things are buggy, but then I'd rather fix the bugs.
