xfce-winxp-tc-panel

This is a fork of xfce4-panel which patches a few things such as removing borders and fixing external plugin backgrounds. It is recommended to install this so that the Start button looks correct.

To install this fork:

cd into xfce-winxp-tc-panel/packaging (it should already be on the test-borders branch, but you can check with git status)
Build the packages by running these scripts:
- ./pack-libxfce4panel-2.0.sh
- ./pack-xfce4-panel.sh
Install the generated packages with:
- sudo dpkg -i libxfce4panel-2.0-4.deb
- sudo dpkg -i xfce4-panel.deb

You must then restart the panel, logging off and back on is sufficient to do this.

(In future I will hopefully tidy up the fork and see if the patches can be merged with upstream)
