I think mix plugins from system and user profiles is a bad idea, the
system profile tend to be updated less than the user profile, so there
maybe some ABI problems between the xfce-panel in the system profile and
its plugins in the user profile due to mismatched versions.  

Does install both ‘xfce4-panel’ and ‘xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin’ into the
user profile works (hopeful a system xfce4 session will first pickup a
user installed xfce4-panel)?
