I'm not sure. An applet is generally only a single shared object so
this would lead to lots of folders, with a single .so in. That's why I
though we should keep them together in /usr/lib/gnome-panel. Otherwise
we'll have the same problem of /usr/lib being over-crowded, but with
folders instead of .so files.

Why is this? Surely if any files are left after a clean, this is a bug
and should be fixed/worked around.

I'll check this and add some notes, thanks.

I had written this script but was missing the OMF sed, thanks.
I'll mail a revised draft in a minute.
