I think it's compiz's fault. recalcWindowType() in window.c contains
this:

    if (type == CompWindowTypeDockMask && (w->state & CompWindowStateBelowMask))
        type = CompWindowTypeNormalMask;

I disabled the bit of ROX that sets _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW (but I still
think compiz is in the wrong, not ROX) and my panel stayed on the edge.
I'm attaching a little patch.

I'll report it on the compiz forums and/or bug tracker, but it could be
a while before a fix is generally available so perhaps we should have an
extra Compatibility option in ROX?
