Hi Max,
this is you answering yourself again, sorry folks hope this does not bother
people too much. By reading the forum I found this:
http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=2384.0
The API for the plugins changed and so the old plugins don't work anymore
but thanks to M.Huijsmans some of these have been ported.
Hope this helps some.
Max.
