XFCE is not the problem area. I have learned how to add apps to that
panel. When I right click etc. on the panel in knoppix HD I get a
menuing system that lets me add predefined applets like a load monitor,
a clock etc. but not things like Iceweasel. One of the applets listed
is the system tray. So I have that and can move it up to the top of
the stack, (moves it left in real life) expand it horizontally etc.
But I just can't add anything to that system tray.
Perhaps the system tray is the wrong piece to be working with. I don't
speak LDXE very well.
