Hi.

I'd like to revive this request. It's been included in the official list of
panel plugins for Xfce:
https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-windowck-plugin

It already has the debian directory. I tried packaging it but it segfaults
when it's set to display the buttons on desktop. I have set up three
launchers as window buttons, which is good but not quite the same as having
a dedicated plugin that works as intended. The plugin also displays a
window title, which is a huge bonus.

If the appmenu-plugin is included, I think this one should be as well.
Comes in handy for laptop users (typical users of Xfce). Ideally, both
should be merged and made into a single plugin but this has to be discussed
somewhere more appropriate.

Thanks.

To have the buttons in the xfce4-panel you can add starters with the
following commands:

Minimize-Button: bash -c xdotool windowminimize $(xdotool getactivewindow)
(Un)maximize-Button: wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b
toggle,maximized_vert,maximized_horz
Close-Button: wmctrl -c :ACTIVE:

Depends on the programs xdotool and wmctrl. The packages might have the
same names.
You can put the buttons in the upper right corner of the screen and choose
symbols that match the action.
