1 panel for all without to have to see have all others panels...

Hi there,

i'm running xfce, with compiz and i'm using the cube effect. I like to be abe to switch betwen workspace and still be able to see the other process from other window as the wall are transparent.
e.g.

my problem: because it's transparent, i got to see 4 panels in for differents workspace.  I don't like that. Could it be possible to see only one panel (the one from the current workspace) ?
and if i switch to another workspace, that i got to still open my panel from there too.

1 panel for all my workspace, 1 panel (visible only) on my current workspace ...

i try to code it with xprop, wmctrl, xwininfo, and xdotool...

but that didn't work, the best i did at some point is to use gdevilspie and made the panel only visile on  1 desktop but then if i switch to my other workspace i was not able to trun xfce4-panel

*panel mean xfce4-panel

i dunno, i kind of give up...with other program i can just use gdevilspie as for the whisker menu... you can see on the picture the column, or trace black beside each corner of of my cube, you can even see icons black...hope i been clear, i'm willing to give more details if required.

Re: 1 panel for all without to have to see have all others panels...

I've looked into this but I'm afraid I don't think it's possible. Compiz is only interested in windows, it doesn't manage docks or panels. A panel application will start itself on all available workspaces - that's standard behaviour. If you make the cube transparent you're going to see the panel everywhere.
