Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-applets
Currently, the gnome-applets package depends on the gnome-panel.
However, Xubuntu users (including myself) who wish to use the applets
contained within using the Xfapplet plugin, will pull down the following
list of packages if it is installed with apt-get:

[This is partial output from "sudo apt-get --dry-run install gnome-
applets". The output was produced on Jaunty, but the dependencies are
intact in the Karmic repositories.]
The gnome-panel is bad enough, but installing all of the rest of GNOME
with it is a severe flaw. The package should depend on either gnome-
panel or xfce4-xfapplet-plugin to allow Xfce users with the xfce4-panel
installed to run the applets without installing GNOME.
