It would be wise if the sidebar (or whatever it ends up becoming

backwards-compatibility with Gnome 2 panel applets.

Hmm. My only problem with that is that the panel then just becomes a
grey bar of wasted space. I don't have much on my panel, but small
utilities like a system monitor, clock & weather, notification area and
so on mean that the panel at least has some purpose. I don't really want
to have to a) lose more screen real estate for existing functionality or
b) have to enter a special mode just to check on my system usage -- the
beauty of the panel is that it's always there, doesn't require any more
room than itself, and watching the fluctuations of
network/memory/processor during various operations is easy.
