Since an applet is a bonobo component, you must write a .server file so that the bonobo activation daemon is aware that your component exists and how to activate it. Copy and paste is your friend here ...
oaf_info oaf_server iid="OAFIID:My_HelloApplet_Factory" type="exe" location="test-bonobo-applet" oaf_attribute name="repo_ids" type="stringv" item value="IDL:Bonobo/GenericFactory:1.0"/ item value="IDL:Bonobo/Unknown:1.0"/ /oaf_attribute oaf_attribute name="name" type="string" value="Hello World Applet Factory"/ oaf_attribute name="description" type="string" value="My first applet factory"/ /oaf_server oaf_server iid="OAFIID:My_HelloApplet" type="factory" location="OAFIID:My_HelloApplet_Factory" oaf_attribute name="repo_ids" type="stringv" item value="IDL:GNOME/Vertigo/PanelAppletShell:1.0"/ item value="IDL:Bonobo/Control:1.0"/ item value="IDL:Bonobo/Unknown:1.0"/ /oaf_attribute oaf_attribute name="name" type="string" value="Hello World Applet"/ oaf_attribute name="description" type="string" value="My fist applet for the GNOME2 panel"/ oaf_attribute name="panel:category" type="string" value="Amusements"/ oaf_attribute name="panel:icon" type="string" value="gnome-applets.png"/ /oaf_server /oaf_info
Probably the most important thing to note here is that, unlike .server files for other bonobo components, applet .server files contain two special attributes - 'panel:category' and 'panel:icon'. Both are used by the panel to display an entry for the applet in the 'Add to Panel' menu.
