Applets (or whatever that is called) are not part of the gnome-shell design so they will simply not exist in GNOME3. Until now there hasn't been any advice for things that should be easy to access and are not part of the shell. Actually, the answer is more or less that there shouldn't be anything that cannot be implemented by notifications and is not part of the shell that should be visible all the time. In theory though you could create gnome-shell extensions that mimic the functionality of applets but there is no stable API for this. You can find more about this (with some discussion and answers by the designers) in the mailing list archive. I think the tomboy case hasn't been fully investigated yet. Regards, Johannes
