I have the panel on top as well ... 

Can you check if your source code has these lines:

file: xfce4/panel/controls_dialog.c, line 328
=============================================

if (response == RESPONSE_REMOVE)
{
  gtk_widget_hide(dlg);
	    
  if (!(control->with_popup) || 
      confirm(_("Removing an item will also remove its popup menu.\n\n"
                "Do you want to remove the item?"),
              GTK_STOCK_REMOVE, NULL))
  {
    break;
  }
  
  gtk_widget_show(dlg);
}

==============================================

If you do have this, I'm almost certain you have an older version of the
panel around that gets run instead of your newly build one.

Yeah, this is what Olivier posted earlier. It only affects the top
margin. It is required to allow xfwm4 to handle certain applications
better. I don't know if this can be solved.

Olivier, should I remove the top margin settings from the settings
dialog? It i a bit hard to explain, though, why you can't set the top
margin ...
