Concerning apps in the panel we have:

1. Docking,

2. Swallowing 

3. Applets

which look all the same to me from the point of the user. "What´s the

Why three names for something that looks all the same to me?" =>
Irritation!

Is it possible to convert all docked apps to applets? Any disadvantages?
