Xfce4 without a panel?

I'm running xfce4, but without the panel. I get all the information I might get from the panel from conky, a list of running programs from middle click and program launchers etc from right click. It might sound odd but I enjoy the extra screen space.

However, I ran up against a problem. I really need to run the power manager (and probably some other stuff as time goes on) but as far as I can tell this can only be done with the panel running. Can I make the panel invisible (auto hide isn't enough)? Can I run panel programs without it? If I should just give up and go to a different desktop environment, can you suggest one?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks but I've tried that. Composite never works for me, always garbles certain things. Also the panel would still be there. I want to run xfce panel apps without the panel or with the panel hidden/running in the background.
