Is this a matter of principle for the OP, or does the panel interfere
with something else? I have three panels, and for me they are the main
point of running a DE rather than just a window manager. But one of
them contains an analogue clock and nothing else (because I want it
wider than the other two panels), and if the OP just wants to get rid of
the program launchers and other widgets in the usual panel(s), this
could be done to satisfy the 'at least one panel' requirement. Or a CPU
monitor or something else useful if the clock isn't wanted. And it can
be set to auto-hide so you don't even see it unless you deliberately
tickle it.
