No problem; that's what I figured, but I wanted to confirm - a *lot* 
of the traffic on the mailing list tends to be related to the 4.4 
development builds.

Well...  I haven't used the 4.2.x version of Xfce since well before 
Slackware 11.0 released; however, I do recall that the battery plugin 
was working fine on my laptop.

There is a newer version of the plugin available - see
http://goodies.xfce.org/releases/xfce4-battery-plugin/ - although I 
won't swear that it's compatible with Xfce-4.2.x.  I *think* it is, 
and either way, it can't hurt to try.

On the subject of building packages, have you ever used a SlackBuild 
script to build one?  If so (and even if not), you might find this 
useful:
