Bug Description

uploaded to -proposed:

xfce4-indicator-plugin (0.0.1-2ubuntu1) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * rename debian/patches/01_libindicator0.3.0_compat.patch to
    01_libindicator0.4.0_compat.patch; change the path for looking the
    libindicator objects from 3 to 4; add it to POTFILES.skip
    (LP: #659675)
  * debian/patches/03_skip_pofiles_in_patches.patch: refreshed

Test case:
1. install the package from -proposed
2. either reload the xfce panel or remove/add the indicator applet
3. confirm that you now see the indicators loaded

-------------------
Binary package hint: xfce4-indicator-plugin

xfce4-indicator-applet reports "no indicators"; the gnome indicator applet inside xfapplet correctly displays my session and messages indicators.
A quick look at the source of debian/patches/01_somethingaboutindicator0.3compat, and an ls /usr/lib/indicators led me to try ln -s /usr/lib/indicators/3 /usr/lib/indicators/4 with great results. Not sure this is a good permanent solution however. :)

Just binged on coffee so my grammar may not be the best, sorry. :)

should this applet be printing a heap of DEBUG: messages in my console even in the maverick-updates release?
