Hi,

I've just installed it. It appears that in the applet how-to, in the 
layout of the tar file for the third party package, the first / should 
be removed from all files.
It would also be nice to provide a command line script to install 
applets. (As far as I can see, it should be an about one line script, 
but you do have to dig into PerlPanel.pm to find that out).
Also it would be nice if applets could also be installed system wide.  
This would allow Linux distros to install third party applets (eg, 
gentoo ebuilds).

Thanks,
Moshe
