no prob, but please help us: did you try the newer clock and volume
plugins and also get this behavior or did they still work properly?

so let's assign this "configure.ac task" to a person being more capable

btw., as a debian user myself, i somehow doubt that debian itself will
provide xfce4.2++ packages one day...
