(As distinguished from versamru'e, which would be a child > process.) I wonder if this is a useful concept to import. I think the gnome people abused it. I think a Java applet is an application-LET because it's launched by visiting a certain webpage, not by intentionally issuing a launch command, and it gets flushed when you leave that page, not when you issue a quit command as with normal apps, and with gnome "applets". Also, they do tend to be small. So I think of a gnome applet as more of a dockable app than a Java applet. But every app is dockable, no? Netscape is in my dock. It's also a monster of bloat; there's nothing "-let" about it! And it doesn't run in any sandbox of gnome either. ------ 1.Why are you measuring the measure? The measure is the same.
