Internal panel plugins vs. FHS

[Brian J. Tarricone]

First off: the 4.7/8 panel does stuff differently; this may or may not 
apply.

Or:

3.  Don't include a full path at all in the .desktop file key.  Just 
include the module *file* name, and the panel should be smart enough to 
know where the module libpaths are, which get determined at runtime (or 
at xfce4-panel compile time since it'll know if it's 64- or 32-bit and 
will get it's LIBDIR/$(libdir) set appropriately).
