Ok, I had a nice long running email as I was troubleshooting, and then
when I was almost done, the power in my building went off for a few
minutes.  Figures.

Anyway, it works now.  Here's what I did:

1) rm -rf /opt/xfce4-svn/.  Recompile everything.  Didn't help.
2) Move aside /opt/xfce4-svn/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins.  Note that the
panel segfaults when opening the "add item" dialog if it can't find any
plugins.  That should probably be fixed.  Anyway, panel loads now.
3) Add back plugins one-by-one.  Even after they had all been added, it
still worked.
4) Move my old config back.  Still worked.
5) Recompile/install each of the non-stock plugins I had in there, and
restore the original config.  Still works.

So now I'm back to where I started, original config, and it works again.
 I'm totally baffled.

*sigh*
