+mate-panel
+===========
+
+mate-panel contains the MATE panel, the libmate-panel-applet library and
+several applets:
+
+ + the MATE panel is the area on your desktop from which you can run
+ applications and applets, and perform other tasks.
+
+ + the libmate-panel-applet library allows to develop small applications
+ which may be embedded in the panel. These are called applets.
+ Documentation for the API is available with gtk-doc.
+
+ + the applets supplied here include the Workspace Switcher, the Window
+ List, the Window Selector, the Notification Area, the Clock and the
+ infamous 'Wanda the Fish'.
