 Kicker bug, and can be seen with any unique applet. Appletproxy-loaded 
applets get different treatment. Dlopen-ed plugins get loaded and registered 
in PluginLoader, but those loaded via appletproxy aren't loaded using 
PluginLoader, so the unique check doesn't know about them. I'm not sure how 
to best fix this.

 It's a stretch applet *shrug*. The taskbar applet does the same.

 The menubar will become two rows high just like normal menubar. It's not a 
great idea to try to run it in 100x20 applet. But I'll think about solving 
this somehow.

 Tooltip? Otherwise I don't think something so large would fit inside the 
applet.

 Fixed already.
