I never cease to be amazed at those who believe that their approach is
the only possible thing to consider.  The gentleman expressly stated
that he (as do I, BTW) prefers to do this with a single click, wheras
your way requires 2 clicks.

There's nothing wrong with your approach, but that doesn't make
others' choices nonsense.  The old adage applies here:  if you don't
like taskbar, don't use it; it's certainly not mandatory.  I happen to
find the xfce panel basically worthless, i.e. never used by me, but I
certainly won't ridicule those who love to use the panel.
