Yes, I understand the problem, and I think that shifting all the applets
into a separate package is the right solution. It's useless to let the
gnome-core getting bigger and bigger. Although you may keep some
characteristics applets (well written, or using some typical
library calls) as tutorial examples, for people who want to develop their
own applet based on these models. Other applets have been very useful to
me:-)
