I had a similar problem doing this :

namespace Panel {
        public class MenuApplet {
        }
}
    
public static AppletType register () {
        
    applet_type.id = typeof (MenuApplet); // < it's "PanelMenuApplet"
    return applet_type;
}
    
I found that the type *is not* "MenuApplet" but "PanelMenuApplet",
I just removed the namespaces for Panel Applet that fixed the problem :

public class MenuApplet {
}

    
public static AppletType register () {
        
    applet_type.id = typeof (MenuApplet);
    return applet_type;
}
