SOLVED xfce4 panel gone
my xfce4 panel no longer loads when I run startfce4 from the command line. I reinstalled the xfce4-panel package and the xfce4 group. restarted X and still nothing. when I go into settings->Panel manager from the menu nothing happens. can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get my panel back?

Re: SOLVED xfce4 panel gone
I bet those bloody Somalian pirates got their filthy hands on it.
Do you remember what you did before the panel stopped loading (tweaked a setting, changed something in your DE, etc)? Without knowing more, I would check my home directory for any settings files that might affect the xfce panel and move/delete them. I don't remember where they might be stored, but check under .config/ if you don't find .xfce4 or some other obvious directory for xfce settings.

Re: SOLVED xfce4 panel gone
I looked around and foung ./config/xfce4 in my home directory. to be safe I deleted that entire directory and all of its contents. got out of my desktop. cleared pacmans cache so that I would be pulling the packages from the web new in case it was a bad download issue. then did an in place reinstall of the entire xfce4 group, which does include xfce4-panel. when I logged back in my entire desktop was back to the defaults except I still have no panel and cannot load the panel manager to try to turn it back on.

What does it say when you try to start it from a terminal?

Ok.. make sure the "Save session for future logins" box is checked when you go through the 'Quit' dialog and see if the panels autostarts now.
