Well, I'm not 100% sure for Xfce 4.2, but for the upcoming 4.4 all the 
plugin does is send a request to the window manager. Olvier, did 
anything change recently or has it always been this way?

I don't really have an opinion on what would be the best behavior here. 
I do see that the button stays pushed in when you change virtual 
desktop, so that is at least consistent :)
