Apart from testing, I'd also like to hear what you all think about the
API.  The basics are:

  # Initialize.
  Gnome2::Program->init ('A Stupid Applet Written in Perl', '0.01');

  # Register our applet with that bonobo thingy.
  Gnome2::PanelApplet::Factory->main (
    'OAFIID:PerlSampleApplet_Factory', # a string that identifies the applet
    'Gnome2::PanelApplet',             # the type of the applet
    \&fill                             # the sub that populates the applet
  );

  sub fill {
    my ($applet, $iid, $data) = @_;

    if ($iid ne 'OAFIID:PerlSampleApplet') {
      return FALSE;
    }

    my $label = Gtk2::Label->new ('Hi, there!');
    $applet->add ($label);
    $applet->show_all;

    return TRUE;
  }

Is Gnome2::PanelApplet::Factory->main a good name?  Other bindings seem
to prefer Gnome2::PanelApplet->factory_main.
