Well, I wrote "newer" and not newer to make that visible.

The quicklauncher plugin comes at last with the version 4.6.1 or later. That's basically the Information.

To answer myself, so people that have the same question may find this:

For unrelated reasons I installed a "newer" version of xubuntu(LTS), and also got a "newer" xfce version(4.6.1).
This one actually comes with a plugin called Quicklauncher. And it does exactly what I looked for.

Hi!

I'm really happy with Xfce except one single problem. And I hope you can help me to solve it.

If I increase the height of my panel, so I can get a taskbar that can hold two lines of application entries all my starter icons get very fat and eat a lot of the horizontal space of my panel.

I know I could use a single button that keeps all this starters in a menu. But I would prefer a "one click to start" solution.

Is there a way to get the starters arranged in two rows like the taskbar does it? Maybe some plugin?
