Olivier (who maintains xfwm) seems to be busy of late, so I'll reply for
him. Olivier has been very consistent in not adding any special case
code into xfwm4. So I don't think he'll be very open to this idea.

I can only suggest a workaround. Use a WM like Sawfish, with which you
can configure special behavior for specific windows.

However, considering the persistent demands for removing the panel from
the Alt-Tab list, we may have to do something about it for 4.2. Most
probably we'll have to add an option to the panel not to appear on the
Alt-Tab or receive the keyboard focus. However, neither Jas nor Olivier
is around so I'm not going to commit to anything.
