But ultimately, you need a name for that class of object. If you can come 
up with a nice short descriptive name then that would probably be an 
obvious replacement for 'applet' but until then its sort of irreplacable. 
Surely one would expect people to be able to put names to objects on screen 
(button, window, window frame, ...) when asked?
