xfce4-panel and gnome

So I know have Arch installed with gnome and compiz, but I have come into 2 annoyances that I hope you will be able to help me out with.
1. How do I use the compiz feature which gives you the expose of the windows open not the workstations.
2. Can I use xfce4 panel with gnome and if so how and how do I get it to start up when gnome is started?

Any and all help is appreciated thanks in advance,
Moosie

Re: xfce4-panel and gnome

Not sue I've correctly understood your problems but here goes:
1) You wanna see all the windows open on all workspaces, kinda like Mac OS X's Exposé (http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/expose.html). What you do not want is to see the workspaces layout, as in Compiz's Expo plugin (http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Expo). Or are you referring to something completely different? (Workstations???) If my assumption is correct: I think your best bet is Compiz's Ring  switcher plugin - but try out the various plugins under window management to see which one works for you.
2) Yes, although right now, some people are having problems getting it to work (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=111890) If it's already installed, just try running it with 'xfce4-panel' and setup a panel. Once that's done, go to System | Preferences | Startup Applications, click add, and enter 'xfce4-panel' under name and command.
