thunar-volman needs gudev (it works only on Linux, on FreeBSD we use
devd), a workaround, use script to mount/umount devices and / or
genmon-panel-plugin.

On my box, brightness plugin doesn't work (no  /sys/class/backlight
file), but someone tell me, it works.

With Xfce 4.10, xfce4-utils clashes with xfce4-session.

in xfce4-session (bin/startxfce4 and etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc script).
