Just committed to HEAD a hack that will ask the user if he wants to reload an
applet that has quit without removing itself from the panel properly or being
removed from the panel.

I'm not exactly sure that it's 100% reliable as in if it wouldn't ask in a
situation that doesn't make sense to reload.  If it's all ok, I might
hardcode some id's in there for some applets to just reload without even
asking.  Though this way you can't get into a crashing loop.  (the user can
just stop it at any time).
