	The best way to figure out how to make applets for gnome 2.0
is to look at existing ones.
gnome-panel/libpanel-applet/test-bonobo-applet.c is a simple one.

	As far as docs go, the API docs are out of date, its just a
matter of someone getting the time to finish them. Also, I'll be doing
a talk on writing applets at GUADEC, and I'm sure the slides for that
will be posted somewhere ...

Good Luck,
Mark.
