Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Currently the applets shipping in gnome-panel itself are built as shlibs. To speed up log-in time, and to avoid crashing the entire panel when for example, an evolution-data-server bug/issue causes the clock applet to crash, it would be good to have these built as separate processes instead. I think this especially makes sense for the clock, given the plausibility of crashes due to bugs in Evolution, and the fact that it has grown significantly in size during recent upstream releases (world clock, weather info, etc...).

The current way use less ram and there is no reason why loading should be slower the only argument is the stability due to issues with the applets though
