Hey,

I tried starting to work on the missing things, which are mostly 
panel-plugins. The problem is that most/many of them aren't ported to 
the new xfce framework.
I would suggest let upstream first fix these issues and package it 
afterwards.
I don't think that we should do the same work twice, or? Of course we 
could support upstream if we could provide patches but I don't have the 
experience to do this...

There is already a thread on the xfce-mailing-list:

Greetings,

Johannes
