-What the hell is a Null Applet?
-===============================
-
-The Null Applet is the Applet Deprecation Applet. 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?
-===========================
