This last version looks OK for me. I've just tested this applet and it works
very fine. Just one issue, not relative to your packaging: when I want to
display the help from the settings panel, I get the following error:
   "Cannot start the internet browser. Please open the help file <doc. to open>
manually."
After checking the code, it seems the applet tries to call sensible-browser to
open the help, a Debian-centric script to launch the default browser.

I suggest you to:
- replace this call to xdg-open, the best solution to launch a browser
according to user's environment settings, in a *portable* way. No patch is
needed for this, sed is enough : in %prep, add this:
   sed -i "s|/usr/bin/sensible-browser|%{_bindir}/xdg-open|" src/help.c
- add a Requires on xdg-utils
- try to direct the upstream's attention to xdg utilities.

Once this thing done, I'll approve this great package.

By the way, report also the linking issue you tried to correct by setting
manually LDFLAGS to "-lm".
