Applet request...

[Dan Karmgard]

Hi Paul,
	Wow. That's a lot to digest first thing in the morning. Thanks for the
icons, much better than what I had. Adding a tooltip to show the rate is
easy enough, and perhaps a check-box to toggle between on-panel and
tooltip. But I suppose I'll have to bite the bullet and change fonts
when the panel size changes as well.
	I can't imagine why the installer wouldn't put the icons where you told
it to. There's nothing there under /usr/share/xfce4/themes/Curve? What
does make say about the icons? It should be something like...

/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/share/xfce4/themes/Curve
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 modemboth.png
/usr/share/xfce4/themes/Curve/modemboth.png
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 modemleft.png
/usr/share/xfce4/themes/Curve/modemleft.png
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 modemnone.png
/usr/share/xfce4/themes/Curve/modemnone.png
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 modemright.png
/usr/share/xfce4/themes/Curve/modemright.png
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 phone.png
/usr/share/xfce4/themes/Curve/phone.png

Do you get something like that?
	Finally, I don't have a clue about what could make the plugin require
the properties box before it would work. I'll have to fuss with it and
see if I can replicate the bug. Thanks for the information,
