Ok. Then I got it wrong again, sorry. I thought it might be compatible 
with XFCE-4.6, but because of the libxfce4ui port and the module it 
certainly cannot be anymore. I will raise the minimum requirements to 
Xfce-4.8 for the next version.

Can someone please clarify which versions of xfce a panel plugin *has* 
to support? Are there any rules? The wiki page only tells you the 
dependencies for Xfce-4.{6,8,10}.

I'm not feeling like adding support for Xfce-4.6 back in. Ditching 
support for Xfce-4.6 means I can throw away some more deprecated code 
too, e.g. old tooltips code.
