The api/abi has not been changed between trunk/4_4_branch (when
switching between those 2, external plugins keep working w/o problems
here).

As you already mentioned in you other email this is the argv parse
code, but the same code is also used in thunar...

Only a new setting (show/hide handles) has been added in trunk, so I
doubt this is related to xfce4-panel.

I'd really like to (since I did most of the changes in trunk), but it
works fine here. You're also the first one reporting those problems,
so maybe more 64 bit users can test the trunk panel?
