netapplet is a freedesktop.org notification area applet which
allows users to switch between network devices (ethernet, wireless,
and dial-up) and between wireless networks (ie, different ESSIDs)
easily.

It consists of two parts: netdaemon and netapplet.  netdaemon must
be run as root and should probably be started as a system daemon
using init.  netapplet is the user-visible part which displays the
icon and allows the user to make changes.

The code is very specific to the way SUSE networking works today,
by parsing its configuration files and executing its scripts.  It
may be possible to get it working on Red Hat and other Linux distros,
and that'd be great, but it just doesn't work today.
