MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2
[2]:

The Gtk2 based Xfce4 has been EOL for 5+ years now. (With some
components having been last released even earlier, 7 years ago, in
2017.)

This package mistakenly declares 'xfce4-panel' as its dependency,
which is carried by Arch repo and uses the latest version with gtk3.

But the true dependency of this, 'xfce4-panel-gtk2' (released in 2017)
fails to build from source, just like many other Xfce4-Gtk2 packages
on AUR.

All Xfce4 distro packages using Gtk2 are pending deletion now
(actually some have already been accepted by a PM to be dropped).

Not useful to keep this.

Arch extra repo carries the current version of xfce4-genmon-plugin
(based on gtk3).
