What should I install for a xfce4 desktop?

In my notes from last month, I had written down that I needed to enter this command:
   pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-plugins

Now, I get an error on the "xfce4-plugins" option.  I guess the name changed?

My fear was, that the "plugins" have been spread out in to some of the other packages, and now I wont know which ones to install.  There seems to be a lot of them.  I'm not sure if I'm pulling from "current" or "extra" or "unstable".

Any suggestions on which packages to install for a "nice" xfce4 setup?

thx!

That worked, but how did you know the package name? 

Is it some kinda "metapackage"?  When I look at the package lists, I can't find anything with "goodies" in it. Don't see it when browsing the XFCE4 category either.

thx!
