** Description changed:

  The configuration window for the Indicator Plugin says:
  "Please restart the panel for visibility changes to take effect."
- It took me a long time to find out how to restart the panel; I simply logged 
out and in again.
  
- Why not make the message:
- "Run xfce4-panel -r for visibility changes to take effect."
- Or even better: provide a button for that.
+ However, it is unclear for new users how to do this. Hence, it would be most 
helpful if either it notes explicitly something like:
+ "Please restart the panel via xfce4-panel -r for visibility changes to take 
effect."
+ 
+ or provide a button that would do this.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Log out and back in, or execute at a terminal:
+ xfce4-panel -r
