Really? Is it works? Sure? Did you test it? Really? Damn! You didn't test this!
This configuration results in a blank panel without applets.

This configuration results in a blank panel without applets. The panel menu is unaccessible, but all the panel enries are gone . Anyway, is there a possibility to disable showing the help, about and logout entries ?

Thanks very much for your fast reply. I have to admit I did not understand the instructions well sad .
I am using Lubuntu 10.10 and aded the xfce 4.8 panel from a repository. As far as I understand it, the settings are stored in HOME_DIR/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml. There is also a /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml directory with some shortcut bindings.
Here is my xfce-perchannel-xml configuration file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<channel name="xfce4-panel" version="1.0">
  <property name="panels" type="uint" value="1">
    <property name="panel-0" type="empty">
      <property name="position" type="string" value="p=6;x=0;y=0"/>
      <property name="length" type="uint" value="100"/>
      <property name="position-locked" type="bool" value="true"/>
      <property name="plugin-ids" type="array">
        <value type="int" value="1"/>
        <value type="int" value="2"/>
        <value type="int" value="3"/>
        <value type="int" value="5"/>
        <value type="int" value="4"/>
      </property>
      <property name="background-style" type="uint" value="2"/>
      <property name="background-image" type="string" value="/home/babicka/panel_bg.jpg"/>
      <property name="size" type="uint" value="35"/>
    </property>
  </property>
  <property name="plugins" type="empty">
    <property name="plugin-1" type="string" value="applicationsmenu"/>
    <property name="plugin-5" type="string" value="clock">
      <property name="digital-format" type="string" value="%A %d %B %Y - %R"/>
    </property>
    <property name="plugin-2" type="string" value="showdesktop"/>
    <property name="plugin-3" type="string" value="separator">
      <property name="expand" type="bool" value="true"/>
      <property name="style" type="uint" value="0"/>
    </property>
    <property name="plugin-4" type="string" value="separator">
      <property name="expand" type="bool" value="true"/>
      <property name="style" type="uint" value="0"/>
    </property>

Could you be so nice and explain what should I change in order to prevent the panel from reacting after being clicked ?
Thank you very much K

See http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfconf/tree/do … el-xml.txt. Note that in this only works if the panel config is in the readonly xdg directory.

Is there a way to activate kiosk mode for xfce4-panel in version 4.8 ? Or ANY other possibility to prevent a reaction after right-clicing the panel? I created the /etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc file with 

[xfce4-panel]
CustomizePanel=%root,root

but after reboot the panel is still displaying menu(s) after i click on it with the right mouse button.

Thnks in advance for reply - K
