Bad news, gnotes is actually another applet (it's in gnome-applets) :).

I think restricting panel applets to running within the panel is a
reasonable move, as most would probably not make much sense running outside
of it, and probably depend on the panel in strange and mysterious ways.
I think the problem here is that goats (and other apps that have had the
same problem, assuming [probably dangerously :)] that our problem is
that these panel-loading apps are indeed panel applets) should be a
proper, full-fledged application that has panel representation if the
user requests it, rather than a top-heavy panel app.

Hey, we're still making usability errors that the Mac got right almost
twenty years ago. We learn slow :).
