Sometimes there are options, sometimes you have to patch it. Making a patch[1] to xfce4-panel works fine, but seems ugly... I don't know why $XDG_DATA_DIRS is empty. Can we do a wrapper in sh that export this variable and then run xfce4-panel? Maybe I'm saying a lot the nonsense...

[Nix-dev] Adding xfce4 panel plugins
Hello, I'm trying to add some goodies to xfce4 like panel plugins. I've done the nix expression [1][2], then added to pkgs/desktops/xfce-4.8/default.nix[3]. Looking to cpufreq plugin, this builds ok doing nix-build ~/nixos/nixpkgs -A xfce.xfce4_cpufreq_plugin. result build tree (I omited locale dir) result/ ├── libexec │ └── xfce4 │ └── panel-plugins │ └── xfce4-cpufreq-plugin └── share ├── icons │ └── hicolor │ ├── 16x16 │ ├── 22x22 │ ├── 48x48 │ └── icon-theme.cache └── xfce4 └── panel-plugins └── xfce4-cpufreq-plugin.desktop Then I tried to install this package with nix-env -i /nix/store/gas9rjahhdxkksv7k3fbq4kwgp17xrvf-xfce4-cpufreq-plugin-1.0.0 but when I try to add the plugin there is not cpufreq plugin in the list of xfce4 panel plugins. My ~/.nix-profile .nix-profile/libexec └── xfce4 └── panel-plugins └── xfce4-cpufreq-plugin .nix-profile/share/xfce4 └── panel-plugins └── xfce4-cpufreq-plugin.desktop The plugin seems that is in the right place, but xfce4 doesn't show it. When installed with sytemPackages ls -1 /var/run/current-system/sw/share/xfce4/panel-plugins/ thunar-tpa.desktop xfce4-brightness-plugin.desktop xfce4-cpufreq-plugin.desktop xfce4-mixer-plugin.desktop xfsm-logout-plugin.desktop And anyone of this panel plugins are not in the list of available plugins. I don't know what I missed or what I'm doing wrong.
