I read this in the FAQ or somewhere.

That would be a good idea, maybe in the right-click menu.

Hm, before I recompile just this hint: The output in ~/.xsession-errors
while reloading is _right_:

** Message: xfce4-panel: module eyes successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module systembuttons successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module switcher successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module mixer successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module clock successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module systray successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module mailcheck successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module pager successfully loaded

** Message: xfce4-panel: module eyes successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module systembuttons successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module switcher successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module mixer successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module system load successfully loaded  <------
** Message: xfce4-panel: module clock successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module systray successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module mailcheck successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module pager successfully loaded


So it seems to work as a matter of principle, only the menu entries are
not corrected.
