Yes, but why would we want that? A normal applet is much more powerful,
and if you don't want that power, you can just create a simple
applet that just displays an icon depending on the state the app is
in, like windows does. If that's something people like, you could
create an applet subclass that has a simplified interface which
is aimed at just easily displaying little icons.
