Quote: "Panel Applets. TODO: Panel applets -- "gnome-applet-foo"
or "foo-applet" or "gnome-foo-applet?"
I ran apt-rdepends on libpanel-applet2-0 and weeded out full
applications which happened to provide applets. The result follows:
"foo" style:
apt-watch
bubblemon
flink
glunarclock
gxmms
netapplet
netspeed
teatime
"foo-applet" style
gtodo-applet
imhangul-status-applet
lock-keys-applet
mboxcheck-applet
netmon-applet
quick-lounge-applet
rhythmbox-applet
seti-applet
xpenguins-applet
"gnome-foo-applet" style:
gnome-cpufreq-applet
gnome-netstatus-applet
gnome-randr-applet
gnome-swallow-applet
"foo-gnome" style:
verbiste-gnome
oooqstart-gnome
"gnome-foo" style:
gnome-blog
gnome-pilot
"foo-applet-gnome" style:
uim-applet-gnome
Which is, not consistent. I don't like "netspeed" package name, which is
too generic, while its upstream name is "netspeed_applet". See
http://mfcn.ilo.de/netspeed_applet/ .
Any idea?

Personally, I prefer gnome-foo-applet. In the cases where the applet
name contains "gnome" or "applet" it can be re-arranged.

g-f-a is fine for new stuff, but please *don't* rename existing
packages, it just causes upgrade problems, and/or more dummy packages.

The irony is that Bill Gates claims to be making a stable operating
system and Linus Torvalds claims to be trying to take over the
world. -- seen on the net
