I understand.

It's not: neither on my desktop, nor on my laptop.
The latter is quite resource-constrained, so I'd really rather leave it 
as it is.

I'll see if one of these can suit my needs.
Thanks.



Now, to raise the bar a little :)
I was also using sysutils/xfce4-kbdleds-plugin (since my laptop has no 
indicators): any replacement for this?

And finally, I'm using deskutils/xfce4-generic-slider, which is also 
broken to monitor the temperature of my desktop.
Any suggestion here for a replacement?


  bye & Thanks

P.S.
Just out of curiosity: why weren't these ports removed, since we all 
know they were going to stop working?
