I've written one very simple xfce panel plugin snippet:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <libxfce4panel/xfce-panel-plugin.h>
static void system_monitor_construct(XfcePanelPlugin *plugin);
XFCE_PANEL_PLUGIN_REGISTER(system_monitor_construct);
static void system_monitor_construct(XfcePanelPlugin *plugin)
{
GtkWidget *hvbox;
GtkWidget *label;
GtkOrientation orientation;
orientation = xfce_panel_plugin_get_orientation (plugin);
hvbox = xfce_hvbox_new (orientation, FALSE, 2);
gtk_widget_show(hvbox);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (plugin), hvbox);
label = gtk_label_new ("Hello GNOME!");
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (hvbox), GTK_WIDGET (label));
gtk_widget_show(label);
}
compiled it with:
gcc -Wall -shared -o libtest.so -fPIC main.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libxfce4panel-1.0` `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`
copy libtest.so to /usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins, and create desktop file test.desktop in /usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins with the contents:
[Xfce Panel]
Type=X-XFCE-PanelPlugin
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=test
X-XFCE-Module=test
X-XFCE-Module-Path=/usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins
When I loading this plugin, I got:
(process:5700): xfce4-panel-wrapper-CRITICAL **: Not enough arguments are passed to the wrapper
xfce4-panel(external): test-8: child exited with status 512
(xfce4-panel:5695): xfce4-panel-WARNING **: Plugin test-8 exited with status 2, removing from panel configuration

(xfce4-panel:5695): exo-CRITICAL **: IA__exo_gtk_object_destroy_later: assertion 'GTK_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Where am I wrong? or What things I've missed?
