XFCE from trunk problems

[Chuchi Perriman]

Hi all

   Xfce menu handling has changed and I have updated my xfce to
develop with the last API. I think it is for use xdg specs. Using xdg
mechanism in the current 4.4.2 version, I cannot get the files
correctly but now with xfce 4.5 I get the desktop files fine.

I want to develop a panel plugin like gnome menu launcher. It is a
launcher but you select the application instead of write the command
and select the icon manually.

I will develop an external panel plugin first and when fisnish I will
try to do a patch for the current launcher to support insert the
command manually or select the application from a list.

I don't write --enable-gdm when I did build the package, I think this
is the problem with xfce.desktop

Thanks all!!
