how to communicate with gnome panel's applet

[Rodrigo Amestica <ramestica lavabit com>]

Hi,

in gnome I'm running the sticky notes applet. I looks like this:

/usr/libexec/stickynotes_applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_StickyNotesApplet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=22

I'm trying to find out a way to bind a command such that the applet
would pop-up the notes window.

Does any boddy know how to communicate with an applet like this?

many thanks,
 Rodrigo

ps: for popping up the gnow main menu I use this:

(send-client-message w '_GNOME_PANEL_ACTION
                             (vector (x-atom '_GNOME_PANEL_ACTION_MAIN_MENU)
                                     (x-server-timestamp)) 32)

where 'w' is the name of the panel's window. But I cannot find a way
to communicate with applets within the panel.
