1) In Ubuntu 11.10 xfapplet is missing. Is there a good reason for it? 2) Anyway, I have installed it from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/amd64/xfce4-xfapplet-plugin which seemed to work however has the problem that non of the gnome applet components appear in the list when I want to insert one in the panel.
Mass-reassign all bugs from florian@ to goodies-dev@, thanks for the maintenance work! (and sorry for the bugmail spam..)
Closing all xfce4-xfapplet-plugin (archived/deprecated/unmaintained project).
