I'm not sure what to do about the GNOME applets situation -- we
currently ship a large number of applets in the GNOME applets package,
and I think Maciej is write that some of these should be broken out.

However, if we are going to ship extra applets, I'm definitely against
shipping them in one large bunch called gnome-applets-extra.  Ship
them individually, so that users can choose which to install.

Regarding games -- I'm also the GNOME games maintainer, and I think
that we currently ship more than enough small, simple games in the
gnome-games package.  If additional games have been written and are
ready to be released, they can, individually, be part of the extra
apps release.
