How to remove all the panels in XFCE

xfce

I'm pretty happy with AWN and need no native XFCE panels. I've removed all of them but can't remove the last one remaining. Is there a decent way to do it?

Best Answer

killall xfce4-panel, then save the session to prevent xfce4-panel from starting again.

EDIT: A 'cleaner' way would be to create a ~/.xinitrc and start everything maunally(ie: xfwm4, xfsettingsd, etc). startxfce4 starts xfce's sessions manager which in turn, starts all that stuff like xfce4-panel that you don't want.

You could also edit /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml or ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml and comment out or delete the xfce4-panel part, but that is just doing the very same thing xfce4's session saving does via a text file.
