I switched from GNOME2 to XFCE and miss the feature to re-arrange the window buttons in the taskbar (window list).
How can I make it working?
I use Xubuntu 12.10.

The way I found it working:
- Start dragging,
- Keeping your mouse button pressed, press
Super + (0-9)to switch the application, - Continue dragging and drop.
Note: In step 2 you can hold the Super key for a moment, the launcher will appear and will display you which number (0-9) is assigned to which application.
Unity's launcher groups windows belonging to one application in the same icon.
For example, in this screenshot, I have two Firefox windows open, and one Thunderbird window open. The Firefox icon in the launcher has two corresponding arrows on the left to indicate this, and the Thunderbird icon has one arrow. If I click the Firefox icon, I can choose between its two windows, which are immediately rearranged and laid out on the screen.

According to a bug report this feature was introduced in XFCE 4.6, but removed again in XFCE 4.8 for the sake of code simplicity.
Anyways - after some long discussion it was reintroduced and is available in XFCE 4.10 which comes with Ubuntu 12.10 - it just has to be enabled:
