Where is the xfce quicklauncher?

I had this on a previous linux installation (with mepis/debian) - a plugin with a quicklauncher element for the panel where one could put several application icons, and place them on two lines so that they didn't take up so much space - exactly what I need.
I've installed all the goodies from the "default" pacman places (current, extra, testing, unstable, and community), but the quicklauncher didn't seem to be there...
So some questions:
- Where can I find it? In an arch package, I mean; I already have the source.
- If I install it manually from the source files, how will it integrate with the rest of the arch-package xfce installation? Should I specify a prefix to compile?
- is there a reason why it is not included in the goodies-package? Should I be suspicious? Is it bad for your health?

It's in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=2621
However, use this PKGBUILD instead:

pkgname=xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin
pkgver=0.81
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="plugin for xfce4-panel to display small launcher buttons"
url="http://xfce-goodies.berlios.de/"
license="GPL"
depends=(xfce4-panel libxfcegui4 libxml2)
source=(http://download.berlios.de/xfce-goodies/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('98231ea7afe226ca7cbdc5c51ea3d16e')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/xfce4
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
  find $startdir/pkg -name '*.la' -exec rm -f {} ;
 }

Copy that block of text in a file named PKGBUILD and run makepkg. Then, as root, install it with
# pacman -A xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin-0.81-1.pkg.tar.gz

Thanks a lot! Now my panel looks more or less the way I want it. If I just could find out how to force the Date-and-Time and the taskbar plugins to go on two lines without turning the whole panel to HUGE!...
