Systemload plugin resets system monitor name on every login

A couple of days ago, I updated the xfce4-systemload-plugin on my Archlinux system. I used to click on the plugin to launch gnome-system-monitor. Now the task manager name is xfce4-taskmanager all the time. If I change it, it works until I logout and login, or reboot the system. After a reboot it resets to xfce4-taskmanager again. I can find the .config/xfce4/panel/systemload-{1,23}.rc files, but they all have

Click_Command=gnome-system-monitor

I guess the new version comes with a bug that simply ignores the Click_Command attribute?

Re: Systemload plugin resets system monitor name on every login

The systemload plugin was recently ported to use xfconf. This means that the rc files are no longer being used but rather the data is being saved in the xfce4-panel xfconf channel, in its own plugins properties.

That being said, the click_command value does not appear to be properly saved. Best to create a bug report.
