Missing the plugins is starting to get annoying.  I believe I have the 
following choices:

1) [bad choice] Use the xfce4.2 plugins from Rawhide and hope for the best.

2) [bad choice] Wait for plugins maintainer to free up time for 4.4 and 
get the plugins into your special repo.

3) [bad choice] Wait for 4.4 to get into Rawhide.

4) [risky choice] Install the current full Xfce tarball.

5) [unsatisfying choice] Do nothing.

Kevin, I'm inclined to go with #4 in the absence of any reliable and 
realistic estimates on when either #2 or #3 might happen.  I'm curious 
to know what you are doing, assuming that you are using your Xfce 4.4 
repo, in the absence of Xfce 4.4 plugins.
