Thanks, Richard, for your suggestion of google. xfce has a plugin called
xfapplet that allows you to put gnome applets on an xfce panel. I now
have the gnome weather applet on the xfce desktop. Apparently many
others can be run under this. My only remaining question is whether
these applets exist in Gnome 3. Does anyone know? I'm going to ask in a
separate post.
