I propose to call them Foobar. The GNOME Panel Foobars. In a shop near
you. Special offer, three for 9.99.

Now serious: rare names, even if they appear in dicts, are not what I
will call good. Neither abbrevs. I guess English speakers should talk
with English natives from another place of the globe, and see if they
have exactly the same vocabulary. IOW please use a common languaje,
not the variations you think are nice, so both English users and
translation tems can understand GNOME without extra problems.

BTW, can anybody launch some coins and decide among [Mini | Panel]
[Application | Program | Accessory]? If we are allowed to use cheat
coins, Program, to match normal programs. :]
