That would fix the problem, but it isn't the correct fix.

It (indirectly) controls whether applets are loaded internally or via 
appletproxy.

There are config parameters (but no longer UI) for controlling lots of things 
about which applets are loaded internally and which by appletproxy. One of 
the options is to trust all startup applets, hence the boolean.

The problem is that we don't detect which applets are running in appletproxy, 
and disable those menu items.
