The window manager of Xfce 4.2 and 4.4 provides a composite manager,
which means you should not need xcompmgr.

Now, to set the transparency of a panel, make sure you have Composite
enabled.  For Xfce 4.4 go to Settings > Window Manager Tweaks, and
enable Compositor (last tab).  If you don't have this tab, type xfwm4
--version to see if it has been built-in.  Once Compositor is working,
right click on a Panel and select Configure.

For Xfce 4.2, read the documentation for the panel.  It is explained.
