Okay, this is a bit of a rant, i do feel like ranting a bit nowadays.
As a multiple-years linux and mainly gnome user i'd like to state that i do not like the way gnome is progressing. More and more it is being simplified but it's also becoming dominant. Wich is not to be liked. Also, it's adding more and more window-controls instead of those handy right-click-menu things.
Take if for what it's worth, that applet-window is not of any greater use then the way applets used to be added before, except for the little bit of explanation that goes with it. What about a menu AND a window approach ... What about not having to open that window for every applet you load ... would be great.
Furthermore, maybe this is Ubuntu specific, but the ubuntu-created menus are NOT accepting my changes, gksudo is not working will so i changed that to gksu wich does work well, after every reboot gksudo is back again. YUCK! But that's just because it's not working out of the box and i didn't want to dig into that just yet.
Let it be said though Ubuntu IS a pretty nice piece of software, especially because installs and runs well with just one cd. Hardware detection is also quite good.
