>      Applets are GNOME applications which reside in the
      <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Panel</SPAN
>.  An applet's appearance typically reveals
      the state of the applet or other information. Applets often have buttons,
      sliders, entries, or other methods to allow you to control their behavior.

      played and allows you to control various sound features. The third applet
      is the <TT

      its controls available in the applet and displays the track and time.The
      next applet is the <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Drive Mount Applet</TT

      mount and unmount drives with a single click of the mouse. This is
      followed by the <TT

      you your desktops and the applications which are running on them.
