better yet: Gtk2::StatusIcon and a Gtk2 module compiled against gtk+ >=
2.10, which is more recent, stable and portable code.

but notification area icons are not applets, and should not be used for
non-transient applications - hence the name "notification icon".  

persistent stuff must pass through the hoops that libpanelapplet
provides, otherwise we end up with something like windows, with a
notification area the size of kansas.
