A pop quiz!

- "I can't live without my _____ applet!"

- What missing applets would you like to see some hacker build?

- Applets are (good|evil) because...

- "I have *n* applets running right now."

- I just couldn't get _____ applet to work. What's up with that?

And then a visual essay:
Attach a screenshot of your desktop running all your favorite applets.

----------- cut ------------

My answers:

I can't live without my Wanda the fish! Who I have renamed to "Eat" because I can't
seem to change "the fish" part. Geyes is a close second.

I want a terminal controller applet and an Apache status/performance applet.

Applets are good because they are sticky sweet. Mmmmm. Tasty goodness.

I have 24 applets running right now (okay, maybe a bit liberal on the counting... is
the desktop switcher really an applet, what about the trash icon?).

I just couldn't get the gnome disk mounter to work. What's up with that?

Humm, all the way through without any requests for fart applets. Now why couldn't
Jared Hess do that?
