Thank you.  (I still would like to see it native in Thunar.)

According to "rpm -qa" I have it installed.  So, I went to
the "documentation" section of xfce.org and got:

      "We're sorry, but there is no documentation for 4.4 (yet)."

Okay, now I feel justified in asking a stupid question.
How do I install an icon for this plugin on my launcher panel?

Many thanks,
