I think it would be nice, and easy to change, if the shared libraries
that contain applets were stored in a separate dir like
$lib_dir/gnome/applets
so they are separate from stuff stored in your regular lib dir.  Maybe
also, there could be a directory under each users homedir where they
could have their own applet libs stored.  Then, the panel or other apps,
could look in both a system and user dir when showing available applets
for adding.
