Xfce desktop session in Ubuntu 14.04 \/14.10 does not display Network Manager, Messaging Menu, Keyboard Input, and Power icons on the panel out-of-the-box.<\/b><\/p>\n

Thanks to Mark Trompell, it’s quite easy to add those icons back to Xfce panel by a small plugin called xfce4-indicator-plugin. <\/p>\n

\"Xfce4<\/a><\/p>\n

1. To install the plugin, open Ubuntu Software Center, search for and install the package xfce4-indicator-plugin<\/b>.<\/p>\n

2. Once you have the plugin installed, right-click on Xfce panel and navigate to “Panel -> Panel Preferences …<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Under Items<\/b> tab, add new item “Indicator Plugin” and put it right after the “Notification Area” plugin.<\/p>\n

\"Xfce4<\/a><\/p>\n

While the plugin includes the time and session menu, you can remove the “Clock” and “Action Buttons” from the list.<\/p>\n

3. The xfce4-indicator-plugin includes the Global Menu<\/i> indicator, which displays application menus on panel. <\/p>\n

If you don’t like this feature, right-click on the Network Manager icon and select Properties<\/b>. When it opens, tick the box after “Application Menus (Global Menu)” to hide the applet.<\/p>\n
