I don't think that is going to work, each plugin now has its own 
configuration file.

For recreating launchers it is probably fastest to use drag and drop of 
.desktop files if they are available for the programs you want. DND from 
xfce4-appfinder should work.

I don't think there are many official packages for the plugins yet, but 
I do know many of them have been ported. Does anyone have a list of 
ported plugins for 4.4?

Sorry for the trouble,
