Current Behavior

Currently when mixing xfce and i3 (following https://feeblenerd.blogspot.com/2015/11/pretty-i3-with-xfce.html )

The xfce panels do not hide even if configured to do so. This was working with awesome + xfce , so there might be a X/WM set up that i3 does not respect?

Expected Behavior

xfce-panels should be able to hide when configured to do so

Reproduction Instructions

Configure xfce+i3 like in the link above
set a xfce-panel to autohide.
it will always appear

Environment

Output of i3 --moreversion 2>&-:

FYI I've notified xfce devs too

Treating as a bug until we know why it fails.

Can you attach a log?

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I'm sorry I'm quite a n00b with i3/xfce. Can you tell me how to collect such a log?

Sorry for the time it took me to create the log... You can find it here: https://logs.i3wm.org/logs/5659640197021696.bz2

What I did to create the file:

i3-msg 'debuglog on; shmlog on; reload'
Move the mouse from/out of the XFCE-panel (with various delays between re-entering the panel) so that it would have hidden and reappeared in a "normal" XFCE/xfwm4/xfdesktop session.
Uploaded the file with: DISPLAY=:0 i3-dump-log | bzip2 -c | curl --data-binary @- https://logs.i3wm.org
Downloaded & Edited a bit the log to hide personnal info (mostly username)
Re uploaded the file

These logs could be of some interest:

Switching back to enhancement since i3 is behaving as implemented:

09/19/2020 09:12:19 AM - handlers.c:handle_configure_request:362 - Reconfiguring dock window (con = 0x55c20bf23f30).
09/19/2020 09:12:19 AM - handlers.c:handle_configure_request:386 - Dock client will not be moved, we only support moving it to another output.

What we can potentially do is hide panels that are outside any output

I have the same problem. It would be nice to have a native way to solve it. While this doesn't happen, for those that have this issue, one workaround possible is to bind a command to “toggle” the Xfce panel by killing it or running it, depending on the state.

bindsym $mod+y exec pgrep xfce4-panel && pkill xfce4-panel || xfce4-panel

Probably is also possible to put the panel in a scratchpad window and use it there when needed without the need to keep executing it again.

In my case, as I rarely use the panel, the simpler key bind is enough.
