xfce4-panel and window placement

How can I get XFCE4 to not place any windows that would be hidden under the panel?  My panel extends all the way from the left to the right.  I have my workspace margin bottom at 100.  Everytime I start up XChat it places itself under the panel... Any ideas?

Re: xfce4-panel and window placement

I hated that thing....seems that xfwm4 doesn't respect but xftaskbar4...its the only thing it won't cover it....what i did is dumping the panel....its not that useful anyway...u can launch apps using the desktop menu...the only thing i miss is "show desktop" button.

Don't know how to do it "right way" but a workaround is:

Click on panel -> Settings Manager -> Workspace Margins
Set margin on that side of screen where your panel is, to panel width.
