Which plugin you referr to ?
I'm speaking of Window Applets
<http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=103732>a plugin which allow
to show the maximized window title and controls on the panel.
Till now I didn't found something similar in XFCE, just suggestion to use
it via the XfApplet as also Liviu suggest.
Maybe I miss something.

I completely agree. But at the moment I'm still learning C (and building
tools, and libraries ... a lot of stuff ;-) ).
Starting from scratch is just an easy way to learn without break someone
else code.

As soon as I feel more confident on my C skill I have the intention to help
fixing bugs.
