It allows us to remove applets +from a users configuration, without them getting cryptic messages about being +unable to resolve things, and getting a raw dump of preferences (the panel likes +to do this). In the future, the null applet will also be useful for when someone +decides not to build one of the optional applets, to prevent them from seeing +the same ugly message. + +How do I add an applet to Null Applet? +====================================== + +Copy the original .server.in.in file over and rename to a .server.in file, +remove the factory, set its location to MATE_NullApplet_Factory and +remove the panel:icon attribute that it doesn't appear in the add to +panel list. + +Why is the Wireless Applet .server file here? +============================================= + +The wireless applet was deprecated in favour of mate-netstatus, but we +still install a .server file of the same name pointing the old applet +id at the netstatus applet. + +Who wrote this abomination? +=========================== + +Blame Davyd Madeley <[email protected]> |
