I am running a pretty peculiar setup right now with LXDE, plank and the XFCE4-panel. This works fine, but I can't seem to find the messaging menu under the system tray options:

enter image description here

Is there any service I have to add to my autostart apps for the messaging menu to show?

Try installing 

sudo apt-get install xfce4-indicator-plugin

and make sure that you install 

sudo apt-get install indicator-application indicator-appmenu indicator-messages

to get the messaging menu. (Indicator-messages will put up the Messaging menu on the panel)

Hope this helps.

xfce4-indicator-plugin - That was it, thank you (already had the other ones installed through Unity) – Glutanimate Oct 5 '12 at 20:27
