by mistake I removed xfce from my installation
my 'desktop' is now completely empty,
also there are no bars at the top or bottom
how do I proceed?

Reinstall Xfce.

Which distro are you using?

subuntu
I overcame "startxfce4 not found"
can nwo work reasonably again
(a few add-ons are still missing, like

gg@ggPC:~$ xfce4-panel-Message: Plugin "indicator-5" was not found and has been removed from the configuration
xfce4-panel-Message: Plugin "datetime-7" was not found and has been removed from the configuration
xfce4-panel-Message: Plugin "systemload-17" was not found and has been removed from the configuration
xfce4-panel-Message: Plugin "cpugraph-18" was not found and has been removed from the configuration
xfce4-panel-Message: Plugin "xfce4-notes-plugin-20" was not found and has been removed from the configuration
xfce4-panel-Message: Plugin "thunar-tpa-24" was not found and has been removed from the configuration
exit

What is subuntu? Do you mean "Xubuntu"?

How did you overcome it? What did you do? Sounds like you missed some of the plugins.

yes, xubuntu
by
xfce4-panel -q
xfce4-panel &
how do I get the plugins (eg the one for date and time)?

You can re-install the default xubuntu desktop by running:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop

You may need to add the plugins back to the panel via Settings Manager -> Panel, OR you can reset to defaults your Xfce environment by deleting while not logged in to the Xfce environment (hint: Ctrl+Alt+F1) the directories:
- ~/.cache/sessions
- ~/.config/xfce4
(Those directories will get re-created with default settings on your next gui login).

Right-click the panel and select "Panel -> Add New Items". Find the date/time plugin, click on it and then on "Add". This will add it to the panel on the right hand side of the screen. Now right-click the date/time plugin, select "Move" and place it where you want it.
