there used to be a xfce wishlist wiki, can't find it now though.

there is a separator, right-click and choose "add". It's a thin line.

don't get this...

use the systray plugin and many apps can put their notifications in it.

don't quite follow... and sadly, I can't check :( My linux laptop had a
drive crash and it'll be a while before I can afford to replace it.
