The current Xfce plugin for using GNOME panel plugins doesn't work for
the current Xfce panel.

I already read it, but it seems to be that I need to edit some exo-open
thingy.
$ grep Exec /usr/share/applications/exo-mail-reader.desktop
Exec=exo-open --launch MailReader %u
Perhaps I should test if editing it to
Exec=exo-open --launch evolution --force-online
will do the job?!

I'll reset dpkg-reconfigure locales to en only, restore ~/.profil and
test http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/ instead.
