That's not a problem for me, but what about other bindings? It feels a
bit weird integrating python bindings in the panel and leave all other
bindings live somewhere else...

Also, I don't think libpanel-applet is the platform. So integrating the
bindings for it in an official binding like gnome-python is somewhat
weird since the binding would be API-frozen while libpanel-applet would
not (I don't think we want to break the API, though).
