The cpufreq information plugin for the Xfce4 panel,
xfce4-cpufreq-plugin, doesn't enable to switch from ondemand to
performance.
How can I get this feature working?

Is this supported or you just want it?

2.

For a panel and for 'Applications > Office > Evolution' it's launched by
evolution --force-online. The Xfce applications menu additionally
includes a launcher on top of the menu. Unfortunately this launcher will
start Evolution without --force-online, so there'll be no connection to
the network. This is caused by the upgrade from GNOME 2 to GNOME 3.

Where can I edit those additional entries?

I don't understand what you mean. Do you want to edit the menu entry or
some additional launcher you added somewhere?

3.

This issue isn't Xfce related, it's also an issue for GNOME 2 and GNOME
3.
I'm using en for my system only, not my native language de, but I'm
using a de keyboard and I prefer local settings, such as C°, km, m.

For Debian and Ubuntu the "," at the Num keyboard is a "," but it should
be "translated" to ".", for Suse this does work by default.
When using gcalctool it's needed that the "," for the Num keyboard only
is converted to a ".", for the Qwert... part of the keyboard the ","
should be a "," and the "." should be a ".".

Where can I edit this setting?

For the keyboard:

dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

and chose "de" as your layout.

For the other settings I've had success in the past with setting the
correct locale (de_DE.UTF-8 in you case) and then exporting

LANGUAGE=english

for example in ~/.profile

Hope this helps,
Andrei
