A couple of things:

1. There is a new panel for 4.4 that is very different. You may want to 
write your plugin for that instead. It won't be too difficult to port it 
later, though.

2. I'm not sure which sample plugin you use, but it might not be 
entirely up-to-date. Starting with something simple like the minicmd 
plugin might be easier.

3. What is the output of 'pkg-config xfce4-panel-1.0 --libs --cflags'? 
Make sure you have the required development packages installed.
