Hello,

sure, I've used modemlights_applet as my example, I already knew its
code and made my gnome1 applet looking at it...

it was greping for 'panel_applet_new' on modemlights.c that I found out
I should not use it =D

that will be great, if you would allow me a wishlist, I'd ask that
not only the helper macros BONOBO_... things are documented as ways
to 'init' an applet... many people need or like to write their own
main functions and it is not that hard to do with the new applets API

thanks!
