Every panel applet should + * install a desktop file there to be recognized by the panel. + * + * Besides standard keys like "Name", "Comment" and "Icon" there are + * two panel applet specific keys: + * + * \b X-KDE-Library \n + * + * Used by the panel to locate the applet DSO (Dynamic Shared Object) + * Example: X-KDE-Library=libexampleapplet + * + * \b X-KDE-UniqueApplet \n + * + * Similar to KApplication and KUniqueApplication there are + * two types of panel applets. Use unique applets when it makes no + * sence to run more than one instance of a applet in the panel. A + * good example for unique applets is the taskbar applet. Use normal + * applets when you need instance specific configuration. An example + * is the koolclock applet where you might want to run two instances + * in your panel, one configured as analog clock, the other one as + * digital clock. X-KDE-UniqueApplet is a boolean key which defaults + * to "false". Example: X-KDE-UniqueApplet=true + * + * Back to panel applet DSOs, the following conventions are used for %KDE: + * Name: lib<appletname>applet.la + * LDFLAGS: -module -no-undefined + * + * To implement a panel applet it is not enough to write a class + * inheriting from KPanelApplet but you also have to provide a + * factory function in your DSO.
