Wup, I saw this.  I don't use tomboy much and so I have not used the
applet for a while: I'd rather launch tomboy and have it displayed in
the notification icons, which was according basically the same.

So I did not added an option for this when I saw the applet was not
built by default (I prefer to stick to default options).  If it's a
desired feature though, I can add an OPTION to let the user say if he
want's to install the "traditional" GNOME panel applet ?  AFAIAC, I
think that just adding the OPTION is enought since the user will be
presented the OPTION regardless of actualy reading the UPDATING file.

My question is: is there strong feelings about providing an OPTION and
it's default value ?
