Help with programming Gnome applet.

[JayTee]

I've been wanting to program a simple Gnome applet to either run two bash scripts I've got or to do the same thing with direct system calls. I want it to be on one of the Gnome menu panels. Can anyone recommend what language/toolkits/IDE to use? I have Glade 2.0 installed on my Dapper box and have gcc 4.0 as well as Python 2.6 but I'm not sure which language would be the easiest or most appropriate for the job. Also if someone can point me to a sample gnome applet with source code either in C or C++ that would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance.
John

I found this. I'm not sure whether it will help you or not but I hope it will. Good luck.

PS: I think they plan on changing the API pretty soon to one nicer. Pretty soon may be 6 to 12 months. Just so you know.
