For quite a while now we've been avoiding applet as the most
overused word in the world. It is best to choose a more descriptive
word, for example rather than having the battery applet, we call it
the Battery Monitor. Other names include Clock, Character Picker,
Notification Area, Deskbar, Weather Report, etc.

I'm not quite sure how to handle this in terms of the style guide.
