Isn't it possible to add a shortcut? E.g. Alt+F3 to launch
xfce4-appfinder? I don't know how long it takes to launch it for the
first time, but at least after it run one time, executing it again is
as fast as lightning.

xfce's appfinder would not give a menu. It is still a search thing. The search function in Unity is not useless. There are situations where it is helpful.

Isn't it possible to use lxpanel, fbpanel or any other panel on top of
Unity?

xfce4-panel will work. but because it is not unity's panel, applications can cover it. If I put it on top of Unity's panel, it ends up under and I don't seem to be able to make unity's panel shorter like a can with xfce4-panel.

I have shortened xfce4-panel to leave room for an xfce4-panel running remotely via ssh -Y. It works really well. I ended up with two menu icons beside each other, the left for remote and then the local one beside that. I think I started xfce4-panel on the remote with dbuslaunch so that dbus stuff on the remote just worked. The idea was that the remote was not running x (or a DE) but had the audio IF in it. I haven't had the feeling of a need to do that since I replaced the P4 with an i5.
