If you could make these functions to be shared live in a library instead
of the xfce4 binary, I, for one, would be grateful. My crazy idea this
morning (well, I've pondering for a while) is to make the xffm toolbars
configurable by turning the elements into plugins. These would be xfce4
compatible so they could be shared. 

One plugin I see missing is a "sticky launcher", which is the same as a
"launcher", with the exception that the last clicked-on menu element
gets swapped with the main launcher element. This will be needed for
xffm and would be a nice option to have for xfce4.
