Look promising if we look at the screenshot. But I must agree that I had some difficulties to install it. Also, and as you said it seems to be far from stable.

For example, here is what I had after inserting a music cd:
nic at GENTOO ~/tmp/basilico-0.1.0 $ Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/nic/tmp/basilico-0.1.0/xfce4-basilico-plugin/xfce4-basilico-plugin.py", line 495, in ?
    plugin = BasilicoPlugin()
  File "/home/nic/tmp/basilico-0.1.0/xfce4-basilico-plugin/xfce4-basilico-plugin.py", line 128, in __init__
    self.basilico_connect()

    basilico.get_virtual_menu()

dbus_bindings.DBusException: Traceback (most recent call last):

    retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords)
  File "/home/nic/tmp/basilico-0.1.0/Basilico/utils/basilico_dbus.py", line 23, in get_virtual_menu
    self.Menu(self.virtual_menu)
AttributeError: 'BasilicoObject' object has no attribute 'virtual_menu'

Just after that, the plugin crashed (note: but the panel didn't, wich is what Jasper expected from running plugins in other process that the panel. Seems it work :D )

Anyway, I hope you will be able to fix all that, because I found this plugin very interesting.
