Yves-Alexis,

Thank you for the help. I haven't been using debian that long and I am still learning the finer points of package management.

I'm sure that you noticed the most recent version of xfce4-panel isn't as new as expected. The policy command on my machine shows 4.6.1-3, I pasted the output below.

command:

 apt-cache policy xfce4-panel

returns:
 
xfce4-panel:
  Installed: 4.6.1-3~bpo50+1
  Candidate: 4.6.1-3~bpo50+1
  Version table:
 *** 4.6.1-3~bpo50+1 0
        200 http://www.backports.org lenny-backports/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     4.4.2-6 0
        500 file: lenny/main Packages
        500 http://http.us.debian.org stable/main Packages

Fred
