Ha indeed! First time I installed lxpanel on this computer from git
sources, and I think I had forgotten to run "hash -r" in my already open
shell. Hence, while "which lxpanel" found the new binary in
/usr/local/bin, bash actually still used the one in /usr/bin, and hence
not-up-to-date plugins. Oh the perils of caching!

Sorry for the noise, and thanks for pointing out the details!


Cheers,
Henry
