with gnome-fallback and classic gnome shell, we had gnome applets available, but not in Unity. There was a system monitoring applet there that I could see may CPU and network bandwith used. I'm pretty sure that I can not have the same applets in Unity, at least not yet, from Can I use GNOME applets in Unity?.
Cinnamon along with Linux Mint offers you the traditional GNOME 2 layout that is built from GNOME Shell giving a much more modern foundation. Cinnamon 1.2 has many new cool features, the desktop effect, desktop layouts, new configuration tool, the applets,and much more. A host of changes, bug fixes and improvements went into this release.
I would like to remove an applet from the GNOME applet panel (the Gwibber applet, to be precise). Is this possible? If so, would any techniques also apply to other applets that other programs may place there?
Thanks Trilby,I unchecked all items from Cinnamons applets and gnome-session-properties. Cinnamon still fails.
What program runs the indicator applets in Unity? I ask because I want to get them in fluxbox.
I already have the network app, nm-applet, running. It shows up in the bottom right of the toolbar and works just fine. But I don't know what the other applets are called.
Thanks!

I'm running cinnamon alongside #!
I had a bit of a google and could not quite find the answer.
I have had a look at cinnamon again, and whilst I do not think it suits my work flow I was curious about a few things.
I understand it is called a fork of GNOME-Shell sometimes, is this true? or did they just re-write it?
Are cinnamon applets the same as gnome-extentions?
