Missed alot of action as I was away for the weekend. The following is
what I intended to reply with before I caught up on the rest of this
thread. I'll try some of the other suggestions in the thread and see if
I can solve it.

I wiped out my install of xfce4 4.0.5 completely - no traces left - to
start fresh on cvs. I downloaded all of the cvs modules and installed
them in the order specified on the xfce.org website.
The location of my xfce-mcs-manager is
"/usr/local/bin/xfce-mcs-manager"
The location of my xfdesktop is
"/usr/local/bin/xfdesktop"
in fact, an ls of the dir shows that all the executables for my xfce
environment are in /usr/local/bin ;)
If that's what you meant by "not installed in the same place", then I'm
afraid I'd have to respectfully disagree.
However, if there's any more info I could give you about the
installation of ANY module involved, please let me know. I'd love to
help you track down the problem as much as I can.

Anyway to determine this? Any one file that should exist in a specific
location for me to determine whether or not a settings panel exists?

No apologys neccessary - you and the xfce.org team provide a great
service to the FOSS community. I for one appreciate whatever time you
can commit.
