For my personal speaking, I do not need those plugins and think I never
did. But maybe they could be useful for users still using a modulating
demulator? Sorry, just kidding. Let those goodies die in peace. :)

The only one I could imagine to be necessary to keep and may have a use
case is xfce4-notes-plugin. Maybe we should file any upstream bugs to
request a port to libxfce4ui:

Oh well, and the timer plugin. It should be deprecated cause of
xfce4-hamster-plugin that has more features.

Xfce 4.12 on Rawhide (current status and issues)

Hi Raphael,
Aattached a patch that compiles correctly with libxfce4ui on your xfce bug,

I tested it compiling with rpmbuild on fedora 20. Note that the patch
seems a big due changes by vala. But I think is correct.

p.s: Send it before here, but was rejected by the attachment size. hehe. :S
