How to embed xfce4-terminal in Openbox3 desktop?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there was a way to embed xfce4-terminal in my openbox desktop so that it doesn't display on my tint2 panel?

This is my desktop:

NOTE: I've already seen the embedded konsole tutorial posted on this site - openbox doesn't support the necessary transparency settings for konsole.

It only took a couple of looks at openbox's rc.xml file to realise how to do it; just add the application to rc.xml, gathering the required information from xprop, like:

xprop | grep "WM_WINDOW_ROLE"

Then make my tint panel avoid it by adding this to my rc.xml file in ~/.config/openbox.

<skip_taskbar>true</skip_taskbar>
<skip_pager>true</skip_pager>
