You're talking about the thing that looks like Windows? It's xftaskbar4,
just kill it and the thing won't come back. Then add a window list popup
to the Dock-alike at the bottom.
If you then want your system to behave just like mine does, move the
Dock-alike to the upper right-hand corner of your screen, oriented
vertically and set it to autohide, swap xfwm4 (which has been cribbing too
many design notes from Havoc in terms of how a WM ought to behave IMO) in
favor of Window Maker. Disable the wmaker Clip and Dock.
At that point, it starts to behave like my mac with a different titlebar
button layout--especially when you install one of the things that is
supposed to act like QuickSilver. =)

You can put one in the xfce dock-alike.
