didn't know about "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename", very useful

I think that it would be better to have, in the end of configure, the list
of plugins with
on the right written if they will be built or not, e.g.

    wnckpager - Pager which support openbox and compiz......YES
    indicator - Indicator
support..............................................NO

then I think that "--enable-indicator-support" should be by default
enabled, not disabled.

yes just a dependency problem that I would immediately guess if configure
would tell

indicator - Indicator
support..............................................NO

One more thing, after "lxpanelctl restart" the menu applet shows only the
menu items execute and close session.
If I kill lxpanel and run "lxpanel --profile Lubuntu" instead it works, I
can try to debug it myself anyway.
