Correctomundo. Yes, xnee is gone now. It is replaced by cnee.
Xnee has been renamed to cnee actually.

xnee is no more. It is replaced by cnee.

The program xnee is pining for the fjords.

 ** Use cnee instead **

Pnee is a Gnome Panel Applet. When you say you're not getting it, what
do you mean?

 - If you can't start it from the command line there is nothing wrong.
You simple can't do that*. It is installed in the panel applets directory.

 - Assuming you use Gnome, try adding it (after installation of course)
and report back what's not working. Include your distribution (incl
version), gnome version etc in the report.


*)  Well, actually the applet can be started from the command line. But
let's not go into details.

That sucks. I know. But it has been fixed, in CVS only.

... and not released, so try out a release here:

Latest and not always greatest doc live here btw:

Yup, which really rings a bell :(

Hmmmm... at least in CVS head

--enable-lib
  installs Xnee library (libxnee)
--disable-lib
  does not install the lib
