Because nobody reads the FAQ anyway
I just wanted to let you all know that there is no applet for GNOME 2 (nor will there ever be). Instead, Robert McQueen has written a Docklet plugin. A docklet does everything our applet used to do, but with far less overhead. Plus, it'll work with KDE. The docklet conforms to the freedesktop.org standards implemented by GNOME 2 with its Notification Area applet found in GNOME CVS--tarred up here by Robert McQueen and by KDE with this patch from RedHat's null beta. Just load docklet.so, and you're set to go.

We just received word that the above patch to the KDE kicker is now in KDE CVS and will be included in KDE 3.1.
