hmm, we could add that to the exec functions anyway.

Yeah, you're right. I have been neglecting the default configuration
issues a bit, but I guess now is a good time to start looking at that
again.

I need to go through the entire panel configuration. I think I want to
use a configuration close to the default xfce3 one and I would love to
see a xfce3->xfce4 conversion script.

Anyway, I'm afraid I will be away for about a week now, so XFce work
will have to wait a bit.
