Seems to work fine on OpenBSD, but is it possible to add :
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
just before #include <net/if.h> in panel-plugin.c ? This fixes a
trivial compilation problem..

Anyway, i'll probably patch source in our tree to make it less
debian-oriented, as we use
ppp -ddial and pkill ppp :)
