   Hmm-m-m. That's like asking how many times you missed having an accident
while driving.

   My reason for asking is that I know the libraries used for an Xfce panel
plugin but not the application name. I was hoping to find the latter via the
former.

   In any case, I discovered how to find the installed plugins (right-click on
the panel move bars on either end) so now it's moot.

Many thanks,

Rich
