I'm not really surprised that it doesn't work. The panel and the taskbar 
will both try to catch mouse movements, so that may very well interfere. 
I don't think I can make that work.

If you simply want the panel and a tasklist on the same screen edge, you 
could try to use the taskbar plugin and simply not run xftaskbar4.
