I found out that the applet does not show if I use startx from runlevel 3.

If I log in as root at runlevel 3 and then start gdm, I can log in as 
regular user and the applet shows up in the choices.

I will try out kdm and xdm to see if the choices are there with 
different GUI login management programs.

Other than adding a drawer, I add the same items to the panel, except 
for also adding the weather applet for two locations, one on each 
different display.

I also add my favorite aplications to the panel instead of needing to 
navigate menus which reduces the mouse clicks and hunting for items. 
(games, browsers, scanners, graphics programs)
