Thanks for the pointer, I just searched bugzilla for reviews with
"applet" in summary.

Yes, docklets or dockapps, panel plugins, whtatever. No standalone
stuff.

Me too, but _most_ gnome-panel applets are following 1), even from Core.
1) is what the wiki suggests, think of gstreamer-plugins-*

Depending on the naming scheme a number of plugins will have need to be
renamed:
For 1)
Already following the gnome-applet-foo scheme: 6
1. gnome-applet-netmon
2. gnome-applet-netspeed
3. gnome-applet-rhythmbox
4. gnome-applet-sensors
5. gnome-applet-timer
6. gnome-applet-vm:
To rename: at least 10
1. autobuild-applet -> gnome-applet-autobuild
2. bubblemon -> gnome-applet-bubblemon
3. contact-lookup-applet -> gnome-applet-contact-lookup
4. deskbar-applet -> gnome-applet-deskbar
5. glunarclock -> gnome-applet-lunarclock (?)
6. gnome-cpufreq-applet -> gnome-applet-cpufreq
7. lock-keys-applet -> gnome-applet-lock-keys
8. padevchooser -> gnome-applet-padevchooser (?, haven't really
looked at this)
9. panelfm -> gnome-applet-panelfm or
gnome-applet-quick-filemanager
10. wp_tray -> gnome-applet-wp_tray or gnome-wallpaper-tray
If we strictly follow this approach I would have to rename more than 25
xfce-panel-plugins. :(
For 2)
Already following gnome-foo-(applet)-scheme: 1
1. gnome-cpufreq-applet
To rename: 16
1. autobuild-applet -> gnome-autobuild-applet
2. bubblemon -> gnome-bubblemon-applet
3. contact-lookup-applet -> gnome-contact-lookup-applet
4. deskbar-applet -> gnome-deskbar-applet
5. glunarclock -> gnome-lunarclock-applet (?)
6. gnome-applet-music -> gnome-music-applet
7. gnome-applet-netmon -> gnome-netmpn-applet
8. gnome-applet-netspeed -> gnome-netspeed-applet
9. gnome-applet-rhythmbox -> gnome-rhythmbox-applet (note: replaced
by gnome-applet-music anyway)
10. gnome-applet-sensors -> gnome-sensors-applet
11. gnome-applet-timer -> gnome-timer-applet
12. gnome-applet-vm -> gnome-vm-applet (note: Core package)
13. lock-keys-applet -> gnome-lock-keys-applet
14. padevchooser -> gnome-padevchooser(-applet)
15. panelfm -> gnome-panelfm(-applet) or
gnome-quick-filemanager(-applet)
16. wp_tray -> gnome-wp_tray(-applet) or
gnome-wallpaper-tray(-applet)
With this policy we could allow some flexibility for those packages who
already have something like "panel" or "tray" in their name.
This still leaves the question of subpackages like
* gai-pal
* gai-temp
* uim-gnome or
* verbiste-gnome
All are panel plugins, but I think they should not be renamed since
first of all they are subpackages of their main package.
