Prevent Panel Migration/Config popup window

How do I PREVENT this popup from happening?

All I care about is preventing that popup so it does not visibly block the rest of the gui, give me every method you can think of.

I have the system automatically boot up into clonezilla but this welcome panel pops up upon login right in the way of it.

Part of my limitation is I am limited to fixing the problem via editing the filesystem through the terminal as the CZ live cd makes use of a squashfs filesystem that it unpacks on-the-fly of which includes the xfce desktop and xfce panel, boots into the desktop and loads the panel.

So again, any method to prevent this popup is what I am looking for.

List as many ways as you can think of as I have spent at least 2 days googling and experimenting to try to eliminate the popup window and to no avail.

Thanks.

Re: Prevent Panel Migration/Config popup window

I suppose that this message come from the fact that xfce session manager find out that ~/.config/xfce4 is empty or doesn't exist.
So a work around would be to create one before you log in. You can create an empty account. Use the default xfce panel config. Then save the content of ~/.config/xfce4.
May be there is a cleaner method that define the default behavior of xfce session manager when the config folder is empty ...

Re: Prevent Panel Migration/Config popup window

http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6842 mentions an environment variable but also a poster says it didn't work for him.
This post from last year shows that the then Xfce Fedora spin used the method angstrom suggested:
