I totally agree with this point. Based on that, I think if skim ships
an applet with it in order to achieve the "docking/embedded" feature,
it should not ask the user to add the applet themselves: the applet
should be taken care all by skim. Unfortunately, although I can add an
applet to kicker via DCOP call, I can not remove it when it is not
required anymore.
