If you want to remove the standard profiles section on the task bar wouldn't it just be better to comment out (or remove) the section of

/etc/hildon-desktop/status-menu.plugins

that starts with

[status-area-applet-profiles.desktop]

there are a total of five lines that would need to be removed/commented out.

You will have to be root to do this.

P.S. Now I am going to try profilesx.
