xfce4-panel-4.13

Hi All:

I've built this with the latest and greatest from the xfce4 guys and its running.
The panel is slightly buggy with some repaint remnants here and there but ok.
The thing that is not working at all the the Notification Area. There are two issues here:
1. I can't see blueman anymore even though I know its running,
2. The mixer app.

Item 1 I can work around by going directly to the settings menu and pull down the bluetooth manager from there so its a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.

The other issue is a mixer app. The xfce4-mixer is dead and would not rebuild with the new xfconf so I uninstalled it and built pnmixer. Now, nmixer starts up and runs but because the notification area is not working, I can't see it or use it. Does anyone have a work around for pnmixer until the panel gets fixed?

The other app that will not rebuild with the new xfconf is ristretto but its still works thus far so am happy to wait for an update on that one.

Cheers,
john

Update...
Killed the panel at the console and restarted it with
xfce4-panel &
and it came up with the notification tray.

Update on this:
Blueman will not show up in the notification area.
i cannot add pnmixer to the system startup as when I click "Add" the stratup applet just closes.
To get pnmixer to show up I need to:
pnmixer &,
xfce4-panel -r

Then its there.

Cheers,
John
