"Systray" Confusion & Restoration

People are sometimes confused over the naming of the parts of the panel that normally exist on the right end.  The part the Windows calls the Systray is called by XFCE the "Notification Area".

Sometimes this may get lost by accidental deletion.  To restore it, one only needs to right-click on the panel and select Panel>Panel Preferences>Items.  If it does not exist in the list, add it by selecting the + button.

But this is not all.  Sometimes the area where some icons are displayed is also missing.  This area is called the "Indicator Plugin".  It can be lost as well.  Use the same procedure as the above to restore it.

I hope this helps you when things go missing.
