Why should this be included in the repository?

There are several XFCE packages that we are missing. Many of these are panel widgets, while others are full applications. This issue serves to track their inclusion status. Not all items listed below will necessarily be accepted for inclusion.

Marking the StatusIndicator applet as rejected since it was moved into xfce4-panel directly in 4.15.

It would be nice if xfce4-xkb-plugin was included by default, as it lets the user know of their current keyboard language (given that XFCE doesn't even have OSD for layout switching)

[vyvir]

This is beneficial for bilingual and multilingual users

I would really, really love it, if we could add the xfdashboard thingamabob...?
