Dear Maintainer,

   I noticed "Application Finder" in a Debian Live build I'd made, and
wondered why I'd never seen it on my normal Debian box. So I tried to
add it with xfce4's "Add New Items" option, but it doesn't show up
there.

   I tried reinstalling the package, but it made no difference.

Hi Ron,

sorry but it's unclear to me what you mean when you say “I noticed …” where
exactly you noticed and what exactly you tried to do next. What is this “Add
new items” menu you're talking about ? If it is the panel plugin menu, then
there is no “application finder plugin”, but you should be able to add a
launcher, and then use the application finder as the application to be
launched.

Regards,

Never mind. I thought I'd point out a deficiency, but you seem to be
more interested in how I found it than the deficiency itself.

Hi Ron,
the point I was trying to make in my mail is that I'm unsure which deficiency
you were pointing or if there is any. That's why I was asking some
clarification and a way to reproduce the behaviour you're seeing.

Regards,
