Where are the lxpanel plugins?
I looked in the Debian Squeeze repos, but I see only the netstats plugin, & only for Lenny (Stable)?
It might be explained on the wiki @ lxde.org site, but that seems to have been down all day.
Thanks,
Lance

Re: Where are the lxpanel plugins?
They are part of the lxpanel tarball. Many of them are linked into the lxpanel executable; some others are in .so files that would normally be in /usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins. What was made a .so file is largely arbitrary.
Any plugin that is not shipped with lxpanel is not supported.
The git repo has a lxpanel-plugins subtree. This plays the same role as "staging" in the kernel; it is for work in progress that may or may not evolve to a supportable product.

In other words:

Strike that!
I misunderstood because there was one .deb package for Debian Lenny. I see that many are, in fact, installed and usable. Users just need to go into panel settings & find them--something no doubt in the wiki, that I would have read, had it been up yesterday when I was searching.
Thanks,

- 1) If the Distro doesn't include them, the 99% of the world's population who aren't IT professionals nor hobbyists can't install them
2) Debian, with the largest package collection of any distro, doesn't support them.
