Yeah, part of the problem however is that upstream terminology isn't very defined either... case in point: > Pending packages: > * 219932 driconf - A configuration applet for the for the Direct > Rendering Infrastructure This is a stand alone python/pygtk2 application. It doesn't have a dock applet or require gnome (or KDE or Xfce for that matter). I think upstream is calling it an "applet" in the sense of a small application or utility that performs one specific task. So I think you are looking at applet in the sense of something tied to gnome or some other desktop and runs in a small panel area? > Options: > 1.
