Hi,

Do you have an easy way to reproduce this behaviour? As far as I can
tell, null_applet only checks for two deprecated applets, "Inbox
Monitor" and "CD Player".

I tried to reproduce it with gnome-swallow-applet (I'm guessing this is
what's referred to above) but I only get a warning about it being unable
to start.
