So, anyone know how make that extra step happen?
(no, nobody really understands autotools) Is the applet publicly-available? If the build system isn't broken, it should all just work. If you cloned a git repository, you probably need to run autogen.sh first (and have xfce4-dev-tools installed). Otherwise, just ./configure && make should do it. Got a link? If it works with 4.10, I can just make an ebuild for it.
