The XFCE panel is very limited comparted to the GNOME one.  You can move
things around by using spacers and placing things between them, but it
is a pain.  I've taken to just living with where XFCE wants to put them.
There's lots of info about the panel at the XFCE web site, www.xfce.org.

It was a toss-up among CrunchBang, Lubuntu and Mint XFCE for this old
laptop: the crappy panel was an argument against Mint, but the overall
excellence of Debian-testing-based Mint won me over to it.
