I had that with other things - one has to change the panel layer to "Normal".
The default is "Top" (idunno...). 
- or does it do it on "Normal" - it does not here.

I have noticed that with only some gtk aps.  All others seem to work.  Are the
aps causing you problems gtk1 or 2?
It is quite frustrating to have an ap open with the title bar underneath the
taskbar. I resolved that by placing the taskbar at the bottom. :)
In general, though, IMO, xfwm4 handles placement much better than xfwm does. I
rarely have any problem now.
