Ok, wierd things happen when I gdb, but that is to be expected :).  First,
both the panel and the genutil_applet --clock segfault.  Second, it
seems that the panel code passes info->id_str to the orb which is actually
set to EXTERN_ID("Extern") so it is passing the right thing, at least from
an execution point of view.  The code does what it says it will do :).  It
seems all applets that are not part of the panel natively like launchers
and the menus have id_str set to EXTERN_ID.
