Hello,
At the moment the Xfce Panel Plugin packages in openSUSE follow the name of xfce4-panel-plugin-foo.
OTOH upstream and mainstream distributions all use xfce4-foo-plugin
This causes an issue of inconsistency with upstream and also search engines.

vs
https://repology.org/project/xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin/versions
I do not know the historical reason of such difference with upstream but would like to propose changing the package names following the upstream model instead. If there isn't any objection, I would like to start this renaming work with Xfce 4.14 which is to be released by August.
Hello, Just an update on this, the panel plugins have been renamed and currently are in the X11:xfce:next repo [1]. If you're using that repo, a simple sudo zypper dup should automatically replace the plugin packages you have installed. Please feel free to report issues. I'd like to start pushing the renamed packages to the current Xfce 4.12 in Factory first (making sure of compatibility) some time next week.
