I found out that the applet does not show if I use startx from runlevel 3.
If I log in as root at runlevel 3 and then start gdm, I can log in as
regular user and the applet shows up in the choices.
I will try out kdm and xdm to see if the choices are there with
different GUI login management programs.

Other than adding a drawer, I add the same items to the panel, except
for also adding the weather applet for two locations, one on each
different display.
I also add my favorite aplications to the panel instead of needing to
navigate menus which reduces the mouse clicks and hunting for items.
(games, browsers, scanners, graphics programs)
