Summary: Missing items in Settings Manager on amd64
Description:
After building xfce4 on an amd64 box, there are several items that you
cannot access in the Settings Manager. (The same xfce4 install on a x86
box works flawlessly). Most notably, there are no settings for the panel.
If I right click on the panel and select 'properties', I get
"Multi-Channel Manager Error: No such plugin "xfce"". This same problem
has occured with xfce 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and 4.0.3. All of these builds work
fine on a x86 box.
My suspicion is that this is a 64 bit problem, though I'm not sure.

I forgot to mention, the only things I see in the Settings Manager are:
"Desktop: backdrop", "Desktop: workspaces", "Session management", "Window
Manager", "Workspace Margines".
I have installed:
libxfce4mcs-4.0.3
libxfce4util-4.0.3
xfce4-4.0.3
xfce4-base-4.0.3
xfce4-panel-4.0.3
xfce4-session-0.1.1
xfce4-clipman-0.4.0
xfce4-datetime-0.2
xfce4-iconbox-4.0.3
xfce4-minicmd-0.2.0
xfce4-mixer-4.0.3
xfce4-netload-0.2.2
xfce4-notes-0.9.7
xfce4-showdesktop-0.3.0
xfce4-systemload-0.3.4
xfce4-systray-4.0.3
xfce4-toys-4.0.3
xfce4-trigger-launcher-4.0.3

I rather vote for an endianess problem. There was a somehow very similar
problem alreay reported some time ago (see
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=842074&group_id=19869&atid=119869)
What endianness does amd64 use?
TIA
Olivier.

Can you try to provide a bit more of information?
Try this:
- Kill the xfce-mcs-manager dameon
- From an X terminal, restart xfce-mcs-manager
- Post the messages displayed
If xfce-mcs-manager can't load a plugin, it should tell why on the log.
TIA
Olivier.

oh, and along with a list of files you have in /usr/lib/xfce4/mcs-plugins/
(or adjust to the prefix you used when you ran configure script, could be
/usr/local/lib/xfce4/mcs-plugins/ for example)
TIA
Olivier.

Ok, I killed the xfce-mcs-manager (-9) then restarted it at the terminal.
It didn't output any messages at all.
