plus it would be good if the applets themselves advertise what they are, plug
and play like, rather than fiddling with any config settings.
eg.:
$this->applets['fortune'] = array(
    'name' => _("Random Fortune"),
    'type' => 'fortune',
    'default' => '/usr/games/fortune'
);

could be returned by a getInfo() function inside the applet.
