1.3.4 Adding Applets and Applications to the Panel
You can add applications and applets to the bottom panel for quick access. An applet is a small
program, while an application is usually a more robust stand-alone program. Adding an applet puts

The GNOME desktop comes with many applets. You can see a complete list by right-clicking the
bottom panel and selecting
