All this can be solved, as I suggested in my first post, by going back
to the original xfce layout. One panel at the bottom. Then we can set
the panel size to a confortable size at which the icons look good.
Conclusion: before we copy something we have to analyze all aspects of
the thing we are copying. At the current state then xfce is not
suitable for a gnome like layout.
