multiple instances of a panel applet

[Jimmy Do <crispyleaves gmail com>]

Hi everyone,

I just created a timer applet for the GNOME panel and I would like to
add the ability to have multiple instances of it running
simultaneously. I believe I can easily to do this by making the
GtkTreeModel I use for storing the timer presets (frequently used
times) into a global variable. Every time a preset is
added/modified/deleted, the XML data file at ~/.gnome/timer-applet is
updated using xmlSaveFormatFile().

Should I worry about synchronizing access to the GtkTreeModel? (is
each instance of an applet in a separate thread?)

Thanks for any help. :)
