Cannot reposition applications in panel after Xfce 4.8 update

Hi,

Just pulled through the latest updates, which included Xfce 4.8. However, I now find I cannot move my applications around on the panel. Looking through the settings I could not find a way to enable this feature. I have also tried renaming ~/.config/xfce4 to enable the default settings, but no joy there...

Is there a way this can be done, or is this feature now unavailable?

Regards,

Ken

Thank you for your swift response.

It's unbelievable that they (the Xfce developers) would remove such a fundamental usability feature. It's not 1993 anymore...

Anyways, looks like I'll be moving to another DE, which is a shame as I really liked Xfce.

if youre not afraid of gnome depends, dockbarx is a fantasic task list replacement w/dnd and grouping. Adds to the xfce panel as an xfapplet.

Besides, you can use any panel you want...gnome/lxde/tint/awn...and so on with xfce. A panel doesnt not a DE make.
