I didn't experience this issue for a long time and even in the past it doesn't happen very often. However, if the panel crashes it automatically should be launched when starting a new session. It might be that somebody does save the session for future logins, when logging out, so if it crashes, and it only will be started automatically, if Xfce is set up to do so, e.g. by Menu > Settings > Setting Manager > Session and Startup > Application autostart I notice that for my new Arch Linux, when logging out, the sessions are saved, but by "Application Autostart" xfce4-panel isn't started, I don't know if it will be started by something else, but I didn't set up anything, I guess I should do it within the next days. A quick test ... no, when logging out without saving the session and then logging in again, the panels automatically are launched.
