that's okay, this is IMO actually on-topic. One of the design goals of 
xfce is to keep it componentized, so you can choose not to run certain 
components on places where you don't want them. In Xfce's case, you 
could run the panel, but not the session manager. perhaps also without 
xfdesktop (replaced by rox/idesk)... etc.
