app indicators do not display

budgie-desktop does not display

consider making a package based upon xfce4-panel that adds a transparent panel at the bottom of the screen which would display the xfce4-indicator-plugin

need to write to something like /etc/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml which should in theory write to ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml
