  Looking at the files its a little confusing as to what is intended.
>From '<gnome-core>/panel/Makefile.in' I see this:

#
# Create the appletsConf.sh file from the .sh.in file
#
appletsConf.sh: appletsConf.sh.in Makefile
	sed -e 's?\@GNOME_LIBDIR\@?$(GNOME_LIBDIR)?g' \
	    -e 's?\@GNOMEUI_LIBS\@?$(GNOMEUI_LIBS)?g' \
	    -e 's?\@GNOME_INCLUDEDIR\@?$(GNOME_INCLUDEDIR)?g' \
	    -e 's?\@ORB_LIBS\@?$(ORB_LIBS)?g' \
	    < $(srcdir)/appletsConf.sh.in > appletsConf.tmp \
	  && mv appletsConf.tmp appletsConf.sh

and from 'appletsConf.sh.in':

#
# Configuration file for creating GNOME panel applets
#
APPLETS_LIBDIR="@GNOME_LIBDIR@"
APPLETS_LIBS="-lpanel_applet @GNOMEGNORBA_LIBS@"
APPLETS_INCLUDEDIR="@GNOME_INCLUDEDIR@"

  As you can see they don't jibe in regard to the libs and I don't know
what is intended 'GNOMEGNORBA_LIBS', 'GNOMEUI_LIBS' or 'GNOME_LIBS' as
mentioned below. Also there is no corresponding 'ORB_LIBS' line from
'Makefile.in' in 'appletsConf.sh.in', should there be ?

  Sad to say but the below fix will just result in the string changing
from '@GNOMEGNORBA_LIBS@' to '@GNOME_LIBS@', at present the only value
that would be substituted correctly by the Makefile is 'GNOMEUI_LIBS'.
