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? =========================== Blame Davyd Madeley
