Package xde-applets-0.12 was released under GPLv3 license
2022-01-29.
This package provides a number of "C"-language applets for the system
tray that provide various functions from package management to wireless
connections. Some of these applets were originally written in perl(1)
as separate applications. They have now been converted to "C" for speed
and to provide access to libraries not available from perl(1).
