Yep--been doing this. I had just been wondering whether I could get
down into spawned applets--cause everything *else* is working fine for
me.:) Anyway, just by randomly trying, I found that 'gen_util_applet
--clock' can be debugged without dragging the whole panel into it.

Anyway, any time I try to start an applet, it segfaults at line 208 in
ORBit/src/orbit_object.c. Haven't found anything else out.
