Dude, the user gets

  1) the crash dialog
  2) a dialog telling him the applet sucks rocks and that it crashed from the
     panel

I think this is annoying enough for people not to accept buggy code.
However, if the maintainer just doesn't fix the problem (as they usually
don't for some time for most applets as most applets are seldom well
maintained), the users at least can somewhat use the applet.

So this is NOT the applet just flashing off and on.
