Turns out the applet we shipped was just an empty shell. I tried building the real applet, but it has bugs that can kill your desktop. Therefore I have removed the applet for now.
Hm, I rebuilt the package after regenerating configure (with autogen.sh) and the applet has been pretty solid for the last couple of days...

What are the "kill your desktop" bugs? I really miss the applet in FC6. It worked flawlessly for me in FC3/FC4/FC5.

In short: I added following line instead of the 3 lines beginning with "# don't include the applet, since it does not work" perl -pi -e 's/Client Applet/Client/g' $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir}/bonobo/servers /*.server I am not sure if this is needed. Then I added two more lines after "%{_bindir}/*": %{_libexecdir}/* %{_libdir}/bonobo/servers/* Thanks to you, I am now enjoying the applet shortcut ;-) > Matthias, I note you have it fixed in rawhide now.
