Settings are stored under ~/.config/xfce4 and ~/.config/Thunar.
Most Xfce applications use xfconf and you can manipluate settings
from a script though xfconf-query (vaguely similar to how you'd
use gconftool).

Xfapplet only supports Bonobo-based but not the newer DBus-based
GNOME applets so its not very useful and has been removed from
Factory. The CPU-Graph plugin can draw graphs like the
gnome-system-monitor applet, if you want to monitor memory, swap
and network traffic as well you need to install
xfce4-panel-plugin-systemload and xfce4-panel-plugin-netload.
Unfortunately they can only display bars and not graphs.

Yes, you can use any other window manager in place of xfwm4.
