Bug Description
The configuration window for the Indicator Plugin says:
"Please restart the panel for visibility changes to take effect."
However, it is unclear for new users how to do this. Hence, it would be most helpful if either it notes explicitly something like:
"Please restart the panel via xfce4-panel -r for visibility changes to take effect."
or provide a button that would do this.
WORKAROUND: Log out and back in, or execute at a terminal:
xfce4-panel -r
