Gnome2::PanelApplet now functional



Aloha,

I just committed some bits and pieces to Gnome2::PanelApplet.  It should
now work.  It certainly does for me.

The key missing ingredient all these years apparently was this: when you
install all the Perl modules in a custom location, like most of us
developers do, you have to tell perl where to find them.  Normally, you
set this up in .bashrc or .zshrc, but that won't influence the
environment of the panel!  So when you try to add a Perl applet to the
panel, perl won't find the modules and the applet will die.
Unfortunately, this just produces a generic error dialog with a totally
misleading error message.

I put some instructions on how to avoid this problem into
examples/README.  Please test.
