This change was done on the request of Coolo. He suggested
foo_appelt.so and I used the less ambigious foo_panelapplet.so. I later
noticed that most modules use a prefix instead of a suffix but there
seems to be no clear naming scheme as we have foo_thumbnails.so, too. I
propose to keep the current naming scheme because changing it again is a
waste of time. That does not mean that I would veto a change, so if you
have strong feelings about this feel free to change it. Make sure to add
backwards compatibility in the loading code.

Agreed. This has historic reasons and I already renamed all of the panel
applet .desktop files in kdebase while I did the .so name change. Feel
free to do this for all cvs modules. I have already added backwards
compaitibility code for this, too.
Greetings,
Matthias
