The applet's code base might be small, but badly suffers of bit-rotting; and some applets are outside the gnome-applets "mantle", e.g. the dicionary applet - which is under gnome-utils. I'm giving gdict-applet some love - namely, I'm cleaning up the mess that has accumulated during the years, and trying to separate the widgetry from the dictionary handling; but I do suspect that the code base of some of the oldest applets really needs more than some love (even though it could be a start).
