The situation should be a bit better now.

Landry suggested that an expanding separator really only makes sense for 
a space. That sounds reasonable to me. Of course it's trivial to make it 
a separate option, so if you feel it might be useful for someone, I can 
change it.

Expanding a plugin should never push other plugins off the panel, so 
that seems to be a bug in the XfceItembar widget. I'll have a look.
