            Bug ID: 269593
           Summary: XFCE Power Manager Plugin, included in the
                    metapackage, fails on launch
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

          Reporter: editor@callfortesting.org

Tested on FreeBSD 13.2-BETA1 and 14-CURRENT (early 2023): the xfce meta package
includes and automatically installs a "Power Management Plugin" that, upon
'startxfce4' fails with:

"Plugin "Power Manager Plugin" unexpectedly left the panel, do you want to
restart it?

The plugin restarted more than once in 60 seconds. If you press Execute the
panel will try to restart the plugin otherwise it will be permanently removed
from the panel.

Execute | Remove"

"Execute" repeats the behavior and "Remove" works as expected.

Workaround for battery reporting: Install the xfce4-battery-plugin package and
add the "Battery Monitor" item to the panel.

Hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad T480, X1 Carbon Gen 1, X220i

Suspect port: xfce4-power-manager

Possible solution: replace xfce4-power-manager with xfce4-battery-plugin in the
meta package.

Confusion: https://www.freshports.org/x11-wm/xfce is marked as deprecated while
'xfce4' is not found on 13.2-BETA1 but installs 'xfce' if specified as
'x11-wm/xfce4'
