On my panel it looks like four small boxes, with 1,2,3,4 in them.  It's used
for switching between the four screens in icewm.  I'm using the CVS version

One of the PPP applets assumes that you want to turn on ppp with pppon and

I believe that this was an idea for gnome sometime.  At the very least it was
discussed WRT the gnome-help application.
