Garbage collection won’t make a difference here. According to the definition of the “xfce” and “xfce4-panel” packages, plugins are searched for on directories listed in the environment variable “X_XFCE4_LIB_DIRS”. Try setting that to the directory containing “xfce4-cpugraph-plugin” before Xfce is started. -- Ricardo
