Rearrange open programs in Xubuntu task bar
My Xubuntu (Ubuntu 13.10) task bar currently looks like this:
I'd like to be able to rearrange them in a different order. Say for example, I want Google Chrome to be listed first. But I'm not able to drag them and arrange it in the preferred order. It used to be possible in the Ubuntu versions I've used before.
How can this be done?

@floppy: I don't see such an option when I right-click on an empty space in the taskbar. I see this window instead.

LOL, you clicked on the separator which is also present on the taskbar and it opened the menu for the separator which can be TRANSPARENT, HANDLE and so on. In your case, the Separator is Transparent so you did not see it. Change it to handle to avoid clicking it again. Then right-click somewhere in the middle section of the taskbar and choose Panel Options. Or you can go to Start - Settings, open the all settings window and look in there for Panel Options.
