On Xubuntu the *Status Notifier* plugin (pacakge name :
xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin
) works natively, it's the default plugin that manage the *Network Manager* applet, which means it is this plugin that displays the little Wi-Fi icon on the panel.
On Debian XFCE however the default plugin for the *NM* applet is the *Notification Area*.
I'm trying to install the *Status Notifier* plugin on Debian to replace the *Notification Area* but I can't make it work, the plugin doesn't display any item. The xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin
documentation says :

But I don't understand it. Plus I don't have the same scenario since I don't have the xfce4-indicator plugin installed. In my case I think the problem is the Notification Area.
