Not sure if this is the right place to discuss this, but I just did a cvs update and now if I have the clipman plugin in my ~/.xfce4/xfce4rc file or if I add it using the GUI, the panel hard freezes and I have to kill it.
Additional information: Also, if I start it from console, and I do kill it, I won't get return to a prompt, which is really strange. No error messages are returned in a normal runtime xfce4-panel. Configuring xfce4-panel with --enable-debug=yes didn't yield anything informative, and I can't seem to make xfce4-panel with --enable-debug set to full; something about the clock object tooltip timeout. Here's a paste of this; I wasn't able to find what error made make fail, which is odd. clock.c: In function `clock_date_tooltip_timeout': clock.c:226: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

this was most likely related to the fact that the panel was multithreaded for a couple weeks during that time, and the plugins were never updated to handle this. the threading has been reverted, so there should no longer be an issue. reopen if there's still a problem.
