Well, I didn't want to make things too complicated. I may be recalling
the history wrong, but I believe all or most of the things in
gnome-applets still started out the way I describe: they weren't there
in GNOME 2.0, they were created later, as add-ons. I believe at first
most of them were external, and gnome-applets came about as a way to
roll up and 'bless' the most commonly used and officially 'accepted'
applets so they'd be maintained and released along with the rest of
GNOME. Perhaps the same will happen with GNOME 3 and there'll be a
gnome-extensions later.
